One of my friends at my local photographer's group owns an Olympus too. If he joins a lihghtpainting shooting it's so much easier to control the results because he can tell me how the picture evolves while the painting is still in progress. Tanks for showing this wonderful example!
On the contrary I use a Fuji camera which is couting the seconds on the display while exposure... so we are kind of a perfect team!

I also enjoyed the story why you choose the picture title.
I'm always wondering why owners are so nervous about taking pictures... maybe because of the intellectual property of the architect????

I like the staging and the dramatic pose. I'm not sure about the dark-haired model hiding her face totally, I might have given a higher score if I could see her face - or at least some part of her face- too
