What an extraordinary face. The outstretched hand makes me wonder what was happening - if it was a benediction, in fact - and about the life of the soul behind those eyes.
Beth, the hand could very easily be removed from the photo, but apart from the ethics of doing that (which I won't go into), it would in my opinion reduce the photo to a mundane portrait. To me, the hand is a crucial component.
