Faces and hands

Challenge #39 in the Telling the Story series. Hosted by CharlesB58.

Challenge has finished

It's been said that hands reveal as much about a person as the face. Have both hands and faces togther in a photograph and what results can be a unqiue and evocative portrait. For this challenge, both the face and one or both hands of a SINGLE SUBJECT must be visible in the frame. The hand(s) can partically obscure the face as seen in the example, but not completey cover the face.
