Hey, I finally found yours. Congratulations on top 6! I didn't know you like special angle and how it works. I got to learn it from you. The lighting and tones are great here, excellent!

p.s. i keep meaning to tell you this reminds me of those famous nude shots of Marylin Monroe shortly before she died. Again, lovely work Jen.


Thanks Jason for the kind words. I actually was going for a Marilyn Monroe type image (I put this image in the vintage gallery as well as nude).....so I am glad that it came across that way.

Brilliant shot! This should have ended much better than this, IMHO.

I think this was a great decision to go B&W. This is a very artistic image. Good use of shallow DOF to keep the image classy.

Beautifully shot and processed. Could maybe use a tiny bit more contrast so it's not quite so "murky", but I wouldn't be surprised to see this on the front page.
