John,

Good composition and skin tone. Nicely sharp. The simplicity of the image adds to the overall mood created by the girl, I love the feeling she emotes. This would look very nice on my office wall. Well done.

Definitely reminds me of film noir. Are there any more in this series? If so, where?

Mark, personally I would be fired !

Maurizio, thank you. The expression: she's blowing out cigarette smoke .. hm, I think it's kind of disappeared in the black and white version.

Jim, hy! I have actually posted lots of photos in this series in my two black and white "artistic nudes" files, but they were not specifically titled in this manner (it is actually one of my favourite themes) ... thanks to all for passing by.

"Her body was a piece of Heaven, but the look on her face was straight out of Hell. Her crystal glass held nothing but neat whiskey; her eyes held nothing but disdain. I stepped into the room..."

Scene is just the slightest bit too 'clean' IMO. A shot glass and an overturned bottle would make the look truly noir-ish. Terrific pose and hair, though.
