Warcraft uses more dynamic shading when representing a human hand, like in these icons:
BTNDivineShieldOff.png
BTNHeal.png
BTNSeaGiantPulverize.png
BTNGauntletsOfOgrePower.png

Also, lightning lacks proper highlights, and more shadows and color variations wouldn't hurt, either. Lightning bolts tend to be more blueish, and more random, like in these Warcraft icons:
BTNStormHammer.png
BTNManaFlare.png
BTNMonsoon.png
BTNFeedBack.png

Also, a big part of icon is bland background. Make the hand glow a bit, energy waves bigger, and use sparks to fill background.

@peekay: Big Finger isn´t broken, it´s just under that two fingers, Also you think Light?? Where?

Light? Electric charge from hand could be shiny, not pale. U'r look's more like ice, dunno, or water. Not even a electric charge.

Again, anatomy of hand is realy broken, i hope your own hand's big finger is on the bottom part of the hand, not on the same line with other fingers.

Check attached stuff.
