Very nicely done. Personally I would like a bit more contract, but that's just me. Love the way the image flows.

 

Mark

love the perspective and the lighting.

Nice work! Great use of photoshop.

Nice effect

Messing around with a different look. Set the camera to B&W mode and

set up 2 strobes. Model is 52 years old and wanted to have an

exceptional image to put on her bedroom wall.

Yes she can dance and she does quite often in those shoes. She is a dancer at a "mens club". Metering was done at four points of the shot and the lights were moved several times until we go it right. The idea of the shot was to produce a soft feminine shot that was sexual yet tasteful. The "white spots" are reflections in the clear tops of the shoes. Unfortunately we did not have any dulling spray around at the time. Guess I could have removed them in photoshop but they really don't bother me. She and I are selling copies of this shot in up to 24"x36" if anyone is interested.

Dan, Shots like this need some special lighting. Try reducing the background light and adding a snooted light that only brightens the face. Have the model not press so hard with her arm that's covering the breasts because it causes them to appear unnatural. Focus is a bit off too.

Just messing around with lighting.

Here it is without the moon.

Multiple images combined into one.

Nothing but cropping was done after the shot was taken. It's DOF that added the softness.

 

LOL - her number? Yep, it's 10!

 

No, it's not old now, I forgot to change the exposure date.

 

Thanks for everyones comments, I really appreciate the feedback.

This is my first attempt to create an erotic shot that's tasteful im

my opinion. Comments welcome.

Nice coloring and mood.

Very nicely done!

Technically excellent, aesthetically excellent, and content excellent. Very nice!

Excellent shot! I woud love to see it with a beautiful topless lady, from the back, standing on the lower terrace looigin out ot the water.

Excellent!!! Great lighting and composition.

I like this shot. Nicely lit, DOF is good, and just overall nicely done.

Very nice. Saturation and tone are right on.

Very cute shot.

Nice shot - the sepia toning works for it. I'd remove the inflatable though... it spoils the mood in my opinion.

When the draft of the vessel excceds the depth of the water you are most ashuredly aground... Very nice image.

I like the idea, but it looks as though its been created in photoshop. I get the impression from the photo that I'm looking in from an inside doorway, not a window (angle of view just doesn't "feel" like a window. I may be wrong. But I like the idea and the photo.

 

I used a piece of black toule over the lens for a softer focus. It also added the sparkle to the diamonds. I also have been finding that when converting from a NEF to a JPG the files tens to look softer no mater what I do.

Part of a series of photos taken with this model. This one was just

a practice session. Comments?
