A fistful of sand

Published:

Description

At Cronulla beach yesterday, I spotted a young woman picking up sand and letting iy fall through her fingers. Her bright red nails caught my eye, and I asked if I could take a photo of her hand with a handful of sand. As you can see, she agreed, and this is the only frame I took. I thought afterwards that I should have asked her to do the "sand through th fingers" thing, but on reflection I'm glad I didn't go for the cliche :).

Technical details.
Conversion from RAW, no changes (maybe white balance).
Edits in PSE7: Levels layer, to make the shadow black; hue/saturation layer to brighten the red of the fingernails.

Edit: typo *slaps forehead*
