I love a lot this..."Lady in the dark"!

Beautiful shot! Best regards, Ilkka

good nude, beautiful use of light

Hi Mark,

IMHO, you hit a grand slam here! First, you started with a perfect model with a perfect body (the first ingredient necessary for any good nude!). You have her in a relaxed and realistic pose with a fantastic pensive expression. And, you have some good light, shadow and contrast to make the image pop. I do think it would have been better to have kept her right hand in the image, but it's not a show stopper. Well done my friend!

Thank you all for the wonderful comments.

Michael - This was near the end of a three hour private session. Lighting is a simple single studio strobe in a strip box placed just above the sofa. I asked her to imagine that she was waiting for her boyfriend at the end of a day. Here is the result.
