At least partially inspired by the "red Velvet" Marilyn Monroe nudes by Tom Kelley. This is one of my favorite models, J-Byrd.

Yes, it was shot in a church, albeit one that has been abandoned since the 1970's.

Lighting is a 48inch umbrella on a 300w/s strobe, placed above and to the "left" of the shot.

Oh look another top 10 :)

I do respect your opinion on the image being tasteless, you're free to feel that way.

However, I do feel the need to call you out on this part. The challenge description stated that the image should be "comprised of primarily warm colors", not that the subject should be warm in relation to the surroundings. But, I have a feeling that you let your dislike of the image cloud your judgement on that. Personally, I felt that I not only met the challenge, but that I met it threefold, by combining actual warm colors with warm skin, with a somewhat "sinful" activity (associated with Hell).

As I stated in y comments, the photo was shot in an abandoned church/school. What I failed to mentioned is that the church was shut down for child abuse and neglect. So, let's just say my "sin" wasn't the worst ever committed there.

nicely lit, great shot, and hotter than warm :D Wish it'd have been possible to remove the bench in the lower left hand corner ..

is it possible to display this picture after a warning ? This one was not office-safe for me ..

P.U. is right. What an abhorrent shot. Mixing the model with a real or implied religious setting is downright offensive (and not in a good way). And since the main subject is not "warm" in relation to the orange fabric, it DNMC. Tasteless, truly tasteless.
