Well, one of them, I have others! FYC if you feel inclined, critique is always welcome.

That's certainly interesting--rising from the depths or reaching for a last gasp of air? Either way, there's certainly an air of intrigue in the photo.

Thank you John, glad you found something to it. Choosing the pp wasn't as easy as it may seem!

I find your content a little disturbing.
Technically this is really good. And the thoughtfulness of your processing makes this image. I like the range of tones and the patterns in the water.
Some may find the white area in front of the ring finger distracting...

I found it a little disturbing to take - a perfectly innocent rubber glove floating in the sea and, no doubt, dropped by a local fisherman, but it seemed slightly sinister.
The water patterns fascinated me.
The white area to which you refer is the thumb, and forms an awkward highlight that I didn't quite master!
Many thanks for leaving your thoughts upon it.

Creepy and disturbing, but great job with PP and b&w presentation. Not sure I'd hang it up at home, but it might get lots of attention in a gallery show.

Thanks for your comments cabunit. It's not on the wall here either!

It is certainly disquieting. Not sure that I like it; but it gets your attention. Captivating.

Thanks for commenting Erich - your reaction to it is pretty much the same as mine!
