My partner (right) was Jessenia and I chose her hand position/gesture because I liked how her hand and fingers seem to be so relaxed and freely/easily formed. For me, to recreate this look, it actually took me a few tries and I had to keep looking back at the original picture to see how my own hand and fingers had to be. I noticed how my ring finger can’t easily bend the way hers did so it does look more crooked. I tried to think of the position as having to hold something that’s small, which hopefully, resulted in a more gentle feeling.
You did a lovely job of copying Jessenia’s gesture. Part of the point of the exercise was the close observation that you mention in your comment.
