IMHO, 95% of the credit goes to the model. She should get the Golden Globes award. I hope the E-glue came off. I wonder if vaseline or hair gell would get similar results. Maybe a more static, solid black background would've shown off the glitter.

Just as a suggestion for others, you may if you haven't already, experiment beforehand with a piece of fruit, using glue or other methods to get the best proposed lighting/backgrounds afterwards.

Hi Cindi, this is a great move for you and Savannah, who really deserves a great deal of the credit for being so beautiful and cooperative...I love the background and the pose...only thing is that glue problem with the bits missing around her face...lovely work. congratulations!

This is beautiful. The background sets it off just right.

That must have taken a loooong time. Well worth the effort.

The fact that you cut off her ankles and feet really bothers me here... I would suggest either a whole body shot or a much tighter shot of her upper body and face... especially with that blob of gold fabric in the bottom right hand corner... looks like you did a lot of prepping for this shot... I wonder who many images you actually took? I think you might have been able to come out with something better. don't forget to try different angles... and to just shoot as much as possible.

I'm not sure if there should be reward or penalty for this much effort! It'll be interesting to read exactly what this involved :) - It does work btw!
