1. What is the mood of your image? Is it a result of: contrast, subject matter, depth of field or the figure to ground relationship?

In a sense it's a 'help' kind of image, where the hands are coming out of the dark to press against the glass. It's more of contrast than anything, with the different shades of grey, white, and black displayed all across my hand. Shadows in the creases and lines are really cool to look at.

2. What makes the illusion of depth? Value changes, edge quality, or size of objects?

The value changes are really the illusion of depth. The finger tips and edges of my hand are the brightest, and the darkest in the creases.
