be best to show BOTH hands in a shot... still an amputation if the hand is behind the body etc... now these are photography guidelines, most of the work you see has been gone over by print editors who follow no guidelines what so ever and this is why you see weird stuff in the mags...

there are also different posing for men than women... i.e. masculine and feminine posing... then everything goes out the window shooting for members...
