Ant,

I did go back and look again and I do see a difference in the two images. The one without your hand seems a tad lighter. It's hard to be definitive given the variances in color representation between computer monitors and even the possible variance in lighting between these shots. Unless you are using artificial lighting the conditions of light can vary from second to second.

I don't think I'm going to be able to satisfy your question except in the ways that I have previously tried. Maybe if you could tell me what kind of camera and light set-up you are using I might be able to investigate further.

Even if you are right you can't arbitrarily stick your arm into every photo you take. That might be a bit more distracting than the conditions you are complaining about. Ultimately we are left with human eyes that look upon things that are mechanically reproduced.

Perfection is elusive and rare, my southern himispherical brother.
