I wouild say it meets the contest rquirements and is very creative. Should do well.
Your combination and work on the stars paid off. Well done I like the silohette. wish the star cluster was bigger so the entire hand had an nice contrasting edge on it.
But super work and good luck in the contest

    Thank you Jim, I appreciate your review and the wishes very much. I have to admit that the hand was fully outlined with light in my first version but somehow it didn't feed what I wanted to say: Reaching for the stars but not quite there jet, So I took some of the light away.

Very nicely done! We all are reaching for the stars and as a photographer you show the magic you found within yourself. I think this is a GREAT self-portrait of who you are and the feelings you want to pass on.

Good Luck in the Contest
Helvi :o)

Ooh awe...pretty....ooo
I like it - it is captivating to the eye.

Initial impact: dark, but with a closer look and enlargement was able to get the picture
Creativity of presentation: Darks necessary to highlight the stars and hand
Color Harmony: I like the star light on the pinky finger
Center of Interest: that same star exploding from the behind he pinky finger
Technical Excellence: above average
Technique: unable to tell no experience with mix media
Story Telling Ability: Dreamer - reaching for the heavens - hoping and praying and needing a wish to come true
Lighting: overall effect of spiritual oneness with the heavens
