Ambidextrous
Made for Flickr Bingo - Week 9 - O62 - AMBIDEXTROUS.
An homage to Escher's Drawing Hands, obviously.

I departed from two principles I had been following for the first eight weeks of the game, but both seemed like the right choice for this creation:
1) This is a Photoshop creation. I shot the hands, letters and board all in one photo (see it here if you're interested), but I did some Photoshop magic with an overlaid second photo to fade out my arms, and while I was in there I retouched the four corners of the image as well.
2) I have been cropping my images to the golden proportion, 1 to 0.618. But this time I went with the aspect ratio of Escher's original, 1 to 0.85. This was mostly because I just couldn't get a composition I was happy with, but in retrospect I'm really glad I made this change.
