Artist's Comments

Man created machine, and he saw it was good.
Man is still the flawed creation.

This is a take on one of the panels that can be found in the Sistine Chapel Ceiling, The Creation of Adam. I have had this idea floating around in my head for quite some time now, but i finally got to put it into an image =D With all the intensity on religion in these past weeks i thought that this might have a place. =D I had this vice clamp thingy lying around my house and thought it would make a cool "hand" ENJOY! ;)

Technical
D70
18-70mm Nikkor AF-S w/ lens hood
SB800 (x2)
tripod w/ quick release plate
Hoya Circular Polarizer
32" reflector (gold side from underneath)

Shot in RAW (NEF) and converted/edited in PS7

If you ever get a chance read Voltaire's "Candide." Its a brilliant piece of work that deals with religion and belief systems. :w00t:

Kawa!! this is excellent! Very clever the way you did this! I love it! And as always, great quality work. Ohhh man, this is bad, but the only way I know that name Voltaire is from American Wedding :blushes: Oh boy.
