Hands are the link between our bodies and the world. They allow us to grasp life, literally and figuratively. Here are 18 powerful finalist photos from our Hands Photo Contest.
Thanks to all the photographers that submitted their original photos that ranged from rowdy crowds of hands to a single quiet hand filling in a crossword. The scope of the gallery is very wide, so be sure to check out all the photos, and the People's Choice at the end.
Thanks to Lou Manna for judging the contest. Lou has been shooting professionally for over 30 years!
Congratulations to all the finalists and get ready for the big announcement.
