This photo, nicknamed 'hands', shows a close up of a woman's hands that have been honed to highlight the fact that they are the focal point in the image. The black and white is consistent throughout the entire picture. The parts of the image which aren't the main subject are blurred out in the background. It keeps a central focus and the texture changes, for example the hands are sharper and defined against a soft, blurred background. |
I have edited this picture in the style of Victor Bezrukov. The images match in the way that the subject is the same and is portrayed in a similar way, the background is obscured in contrast to the subject which is sharp and brightened.

In addition, my image is identical in the way that the focus is in the center and the intention of keeping the soft background is equivalent.

They are similar in the way that there are two people and one is bleared. The effect of this is to give a ...
