An artistic composition featuring two hands reaching out in a gesture of connection. The image is set against a gradient of blue and orange, creating a dramatic and visually striking effect.

Create an image featuring two hands nearly touching, set against a backdrop of deep blue transitioning to vibrant orange. The hands should be realistically detailed, with attention to skin texture and subtle shadows. The overall aesthetic should evoke a sense of longing, connection, and the pursuit of something just out of reach. Incorporate a retro, slightly grainy texture for a vintage film look.
