A '60's mini something or other...

The body proportions (head, hands, torso) look strange. Her head, for example, looks way too big (dates Barry Bonds?). Is it just the dress (I mean, the 60s were pretty strange), or is there something photographic (or PhotoShopic) going on?

Hey Barry. Yeah, it's strange to me to - but no Photoshop going on. Her hand in front is stretched out towards camera I think. My 24-105mm L zoom lens was at 24mm - which probably accounts for most of the distortion (the model was jumping up and down, spinning and leaping - photography aerobics). I was seated so I was essentially shooting up. Her hair is splayed out looking very full - I think I caught her just as she started her descent...

And yes - the 60's were a strange time. We could not figure out what the Oscar de la Renta "dress" was for. The model remarked it said "swimwear" - on the label. It was short.
