It is a departure - but a lovely one. Does get you trying to visualise the rest of them! White background is a must - IMO.

A really intriguing shot. Is it a wedding shot of some kind? The fact that I've been staring at it for over 5 mins fuels my curiosity even more - I still cant figure out the narrative.

Hey nice ;-) at first thought it was a joke or an illusion.., but then my (tired lazy) mind said no ;-))

That is a great photograph IMO.

Its great the emotion that can be captured from hands, and this is a great example of just that. Whether its their wedding or they are guests at one, they are certainly very much together. Well composed, and I like the natural processing, it suits the scene.

Wow, what an amazing pictures.
It´s cinema in my head.
Because it shows only a very small part of a scene, there is much space for developing a story into it.
Realy like this one!

Nice Shot!

Interesting that my first thought was "wedding" also. I love this picture, I wish I had one of my husband and I just like it. There is such a story here, actually I think there are as many stories as there are viewers. I just love how natural their hands look linked together.

Among all your great technical and artistic work, this is one of the most beautiful shots I've seen here - and that says a lot.

Really nice and touching shot. Good job.

Dave I like this very much- my take is one of two things "Mature engagement" or "Seriously big (50 years) anniversary" .
Its an inspirational shot and one I wish I had taken at my parents recent anniversary celebration. it says it all without having to worry about facial expressions. Love, Companionship, Togetherness, Reliance and Adoration.

Gorgeous - really simple and lovely. I'm sure the couple would adore it, if they happened to come across it!

It just goes to show...the best cameras, lenses, filters, and even Photoshop can't do the thinking that goes behind a great shot. Well caught...and well thought. Simply beautiful.
