Its the neck, shoulder and part of the chin. The head is tilted back and angled away so it gave that part a really wierd shape, so imagine the chin now is pointing into the page towards the top right and you dont really see it. Plus the shoulders were sort of in a shrug gesture making the neck appear shorter, and plus the shadows distorted the shapes even further... I cant say i planned it exactly like this, it just sorta happened :-)
Lighting came from one table lamp. I had a this and a color version but decided this had more punch to it.

I can only guess that this is a head and a neck and shoulders. The lighting here is stunning. I'm surprised this one didn't ribbon.

Either way, congratulations on a beautiful shot, and a commendable placing.
