 Last minute submission, not taken with this challenge in mind. Eva Hrönn did the makeup/bodypaint, it´s not an actual tattoo. She did an awesome job, I really like the outcome, we wanted it to be a crossover between tribal and henna.

Wanted an almost silhouette (but it´s not so those who call this a silhouette should really check out their screens, there is detail in all dark areas of this shot) so lighting was 4 lights, two blasting on the white backround and then two striplight softboxes, one on either side of the model.

Never thought I´d submit a nude to a basic editing challenge but the model was fine with it so why not? As it´s basic editing, it only got raw processing treatment and a little levels to totally burn out the backround.

I'll need to examine those markings personally to ensure they are genuine.

Would like to see more of the subject indicated by the title. Lovely form gets a 10 but flawed intent gets a 6 waiting for more detail of the markings.

I like this a lot. I like the fact that you added interest to the picture by using the tribal markings.

Wow, very nice and sexy. I almost wish there wasn't reflections off the skin, but the reflections do show off her curves.

Undoubtedly a good shot but certainly borders on being a silhouette.
