 Two umbrella strobes, one above bottle, one with diffusion umbrella far to left to light me.
Used packaging tape to suspend bottle in front of shower.
Used homemade remote trigger and 10 second timer setting.
I should have reduced the ISO along with shutter speed and brought the 2nd strobe closer for more background light. The two strobes are basic, uncontrolled full bore strobes and it was too bright with a slower shutter.
The lather dripped down the bottle, so I couldn't cover all but the line I wanted.
Of several shots this was about the best, based on my positioning and the lather on the bottle.
Straightened
cropped
blurred distracting text on bottle (SC approved)

FYI, this is my first published nude.

{post} I was disappointed at the score. I thought this was pretty clever and technically pretty good, but I also thought I may have blurred the unwanted text too much. I got it approved by SC before submission, so didn't want to change it out. I'm not sure most people noticed the title reference relating to challenge text "amazing genius of a computer programmer".

haha I love the idea! The composition could do with some work and I dislike the way the letters the writing on the bottle look so obviously edited, but the lather on top of the bottle is a nice touch.
