A very last minute idea I decided to try. The spark came from the curtain, which hangs in my office. I remembered that I had a room deodorizer in a bottle that had more or less the same pattern as the curtain. The rest of the idea came naturally, but the hardest part was finding an angle for my camera. My bathroom is about 3x4, very tiny. I really put my tripod through its paces, trying to find the right angle, height, pov. Once I finally got a decent angle, I balanced on the edge of the "tub" and tried to get my legs to look "sexy". I used my speedlight off-board down low, and a wireless trigger. I only took about 7 shots with different leg angles (who knew it was so tough be sexy??!!!). It's not exactly what I wanted, but it's pretty close.

| Wonderful film noir type image, and yes, very sexy. The grain works well here. Much under appreciated, should have scored higher. |

| Way underrated. I gave it a 7, but didn't have anything witty to say at the time. I do now: Nice legs. |
