Fantastic, Ive tried to enlarge the picture myself, decided to wait until son came home, having a bad day today, and then I saw yours, thank you ;D

Very much doubt that it is a glove, now Ive seen it blown up, the hand looks very swollen though. :(

Very intriguing....  as for biting his nails, youve got better eyesight than me, but then again I bite mine now and again :P

Just had another look with magnifying glass, and yes I'm positive that you can see his fingernails

Just to add my 2penn'orth, I think it's a prosthetic.  It's obviously a studio shot and none of my family pictires done in a studio have shadows as bad as that one would be.  I see what is meant after enlargement, I feel that is a red herring because it's still extremely dark.  I knew someone with a prosthetic hand and I don't remember the seams being visible

I to think its prosthetic, if you notice in the blowup he seems to have his little finger double under which means that all the weight of his arm would be on that one knuckle. very uncomfortable if its a real hand.

Its a very well modeled hand though.

Surely if it was possible to mak a hand looking that good then ... they would have been able to  make it a better matching colour  too!!!   I can still see what look like fingernails.. ;) ;D

Those blasted fingernails ;D ;D ;D ;D

That mention of colour has triggered a very faint memory of reading somewhere about someone needing a false limb, & was told to help themselves from a pile of limbs & hope to find one of the right size. If it happened to be the wrong colour, hard luck!!!

I think his hand is damaged or disfugured in some way...it doesn't look like a glove to me...the hand looks very swollen and unnatural...and they certainly look like fingernails in the enlargement ???
