A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and amusing composition offers us an enjoyable view of that pair of clasping hands. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

Good entry for this contest, I like the two hands that show this person is hugging the tree.
Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is well managed, colors and tones appear natural, you also brought out the texture of the tree bark.
Well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!
