You Capture: Hands / Green

So, I have been a You Capture lurker for a while.  A long while.  Now that I feel like I am actually working to improve my photography, I am ready to jump on the bandwagon.  You Capture is a fantastic weekly photo challenge posted by Beth over at I Should Be Folding Laundry.  Each week, she gives a different word or idea to think about when taking pictures that week.  Except for this week.  This week, there were three different words to choose from.  Hands.  Green.  Chair.

I ended up using both hands and green.  Do I get extra credit?

I call this shot, "Wow, Mom, I have never seen bug eggs before!"

Although I know the composition could be improved here, with everything shifted to the left a bit, I am proud of this shot.  I wanted to use depth of field with my son in the background, and it worked!  I actually got the camera to do what I wanted! Woot!
