Conductor's Hands In Sun

Two hands mid-gesture, cropped at the elbows — no head, no face, no shoulders in frame. Ink blue #1B2E4A rolled shirt cuffs, fingers spread and rising, wrists caught in light motion blur; a thin wooden baton in the right hand. Hands fill the upper two-thirds of a horizontal frame. Background: bone #EDE4D4 plaster wall of a rehearsal room, bare music stands far behind thrown out of focus, holding blank sheets with no text; one coral #E8654A folded jacket on a chair at the right edge. Hard sunlight from a tall window at left rakes across the forearms and carves a clean bright edge along the sleeve; crisp dark shadows on the wall, high contrast, nothing softened. Camera: medium shot, f/5.6, slight low angle, slow-shutter drag on the hands only.
