Macro fun, using a hand from a Dream of Doll Idol body on my hand, very difficult to take because with my macro lens (as it's not a macro specific lens) you have to be a good distance away from the camera . . . . so then you can see the object and placement & focus is a matter of perseverance.

Taken with Pentax K-10D with remote.

This is a very interesting series and a nice approach to this idea of ideal beauty. I've been dealing with similar themes in my work, so it is cool to see how other artists approach this issue. I like this shot in particular because you've created a really nice contrast between the smoothness of the mannequin hand and the true lines of a real hand. It really brings to life this whole concept of airbrushing away "imperfections" to become this idealized figure like Barbie. And when these two images are juxtaposed together like you have done, it shows this reality which is rather frightening. Nice work!

I like the contrast between the smoothness of the dolls hands to the creases in yours. Was there any colour manipulation?

There was some psycho levelling and curves going one.
