Hi Mike,
Look at the top contour line of the hand for the real form. I think you've over-simplified what is really going on. There's a great article on artrenewal.com by ted seth jacobs about structure in anatomy. I think it's a constant struggle that painters have to deal with: we fill in the blanks with our minds instead of observing what is clearly in front of us, sort of reverting to "stick figure" interpretations our minds are providing.
The lighting and color-handling is, as always, gorgeous. I see the highlights as more bluish (cooler), but that may be my monitor, etc.
