This is a picture which has a tremendous amount of detail, for me the glimmering bracelets and the darkish composition with the nice highlights make this a fine shot! It's also interesting to see a B/W macro shot for once :)

I like this a lot. Lots of detail. I think the light source was perfect -- direct enough to bring out the detail in the bracelets but not so direct as to make the shot harsh or overly contrasty.

Nothing much to say but I like it.

I agree with Dave, the point source of light really shows the shape well. Nice use of monochrome.
