I decided to have some fun with dirt again, I had potting soil left over from when I reprised Larus' shot and I wanted to put my own spin on things.

I actually edited this one in black and white originally and loved it, but then my model asked for a color version and since I was too lazy to go back and reedit it to make a color version, I took the black and white version and put it on a layer on top of the color version and set the layer mode to "luminosity"....this is an AWESOME technique....I LOVE the way it turned out.

Here is an outtake:

There is definitely a story here! Filthy & nasty, but also very cute and sexy at the same time. Excellent.

What did you have to promise her for getting this messy? Good choice of DOF and clarity of eyes and mouth
