Beautiful model and environ, and gutsy to do a noonday shot!  Very nice!

:)

How did you do that ?! Bodyguards around ?!

"Naaah... Place was desert..."

:)

Well done. Congrats !

Michael, It was 9 in the morning.

Florin,

It was 35 km from the nearest village. No need for body guards.

Can you please tell me the location ?

I guess it's Israel.

Bingo ?!

Shooting in strong sunshine is never easy. You seem to have found it effortless. As for the title... I don't think she looks that old. A fine shot.

It's good to get up early. That sun could be brutal, especially between 10:00 and 2:00.

The image and the model are very good indeed.

Time for some sunblock.

Nice composition, I like the saturation also, bravo. 

This is beautifully done.  Nice setting and model and the pose makes the shot with the saturated sky.

There are two dust spots that I can see, one just above the model's head.  You can likely clone them out.

Florin,

The location is classified! One hint – it is the most beautiful country I have ever visited.

David,

Thank you for your compliment. The key is to position the model so there are no shadows and shoot directly from the “sun position”

Steve,

Sun block was always near-by.

John,

A compliment from a master like you is always welcomed.

Amitai,

You are correct. I took care of it on most other photos. I forgot on this one.
