<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">The hand's position is in front of the face, not beside it, so putting the finger closings any closer would obscure the fact that it really is in front of the face. It is one movement, the hand bending to the left and the fingers closing one-by-one. The fingers close as the hand turns so I don't see how to separate out what is a single motion. We will talk but it still is one complex motion. <br><br><br>Charles Butler<br>
