Weekly Photo Challenge: Hands
Hands. Hands can be instrumental in a photo – they emphasis, they hide, they reveal. They can be the star of the show, or just a prop to help the main attraction stand out better. In this photo, this hand was what kept me between life and death as I walked down a rickety metal staircase on the side of a cliff down to the beach. I was glad for that hand and I’m glad I captured the moment, too.
Share a picture that has a HAND in it with everyone!
New to The Daily Post? Whether you’re a beginner or a professional, you’re invited to get involved in our Weekly Photo Challenge to help you meet your blogging goals and give you another way to take part in Post a Day / Post a Week. Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.
Here’s how it works:
1. Each week, we’ll provide a theme for creative inspiration. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog anytime before the following Friday when the next photo theme will be announced.
2. To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “Weekly Photo Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ tag.
3. Subscribe to The Daily Post so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements. Sign up via the email subscription link in the sidebar or RSS

Oh my gsh I haven’t posted my Blue entry yet!!!
Nice theme. Here’s mine: the special bond of a mother holding a child’s hand: http://thedailypost.me/2012/05/18/mother-and-child-cuba/
I can’t resist adding this one too, which I posted a couple of days ago, as I love the girl’s outstretched hands feeling the sunshine: http://thedailypost.me/2012/05/17/feeling-the-sunshine-cuba/
Love this topic — had so many photos to choose from, as I love looking at parts of the whole (hands, feet, eyes – as you can see!!!)
Here’s my contribution:

mine: http://wp.me/silml-187
thanks for inspiration, Sara, I’ll try to find some interesting hands …
so here are my 9 examples for hands
http://flickrcomments.wordpress.com/2012/05/18/weekly-photo-challenge-hands/
there are hands to catch water, hands to play guitar, hands as an attitude of dancers, hands fixed by police, hands to climb up a wall, discussing hands and begging hands, touching or fighting hands – thanks to God that we’ve got hands …
Try to make it better!

Hands makes me think of mamas and babies. Here’s my post on metaphors of motherhood. There is a photo I took of a drawing my daughter did on my hand. http://kitchentangents.com/2012/05/13/metaphors-of-motherhood/

Great photos. Interesting theme but I cannot find a way to contribute. How do I get in to contribute a photo to Weekly Photo Challenge?
just write a post in your blog, and copy the link of your post in a comment as you see others doing it here
well, my post for the color blue would have worked for this one as well, but here is a new one: http://wordsandpeace.com/2012/05/18/weekly-photo-challenge-hands/. enjoy, and good luck – you will see why!
A lit of bit difficult but I found it!!! Here’s mine
