I don't know about the "lovely hand" part, but it is a nice photo, and there is a certain satisfaction to the gentle curve of the tassle. Nice capture - and I like the toning.
Thanks for sharing.

Yes, it's a nice curve shape. And the colour is ok.
I do think your background detracts from it. You want to show off the tassel but the trees in the background are a bit too in-focus, and the tree line is right in line with the tassel which makes it blend a bit too much into the background. It also divides your background into light & dark. A higher angle would give you an all-dark background, against which the light tassel would show up better, and a wider aperture would throw it more out of focus so you just had a nice mottling rather than more distinct shapes. Also, a telephoto lens with wide aperture, focused on the tassel, would help separate it from the background too.

Especially if she has 37 fingers...

As mentioned, the background kind of runs into the subject.
