Lady of the Rings

Comment by Denielle:
I have read about those rings and "neck stretching". I couldn't imagine doing that. They ruin their muscle tone by doing this and from what I've read, it's not reversible... the damage is permanent. But, in the culture, they don't plan on reversing it... so I guess it doesn't matter much to them.

I love seeing different culture, which is why I would LOVE to travel all over the world.

This shot reminds me of when women wore corsets and kept taking it in.
It's amazing what we do for "beauty" and "culture".

As for the shot... I'm not feeling the white shirt on white background... her upper body seems to "disappear" into the background. Also, it seems a tad bright. But... overall, I like the concept shown here.

Coming back to vote

I love how gentle her face looks while she sits amidst these giants. You can tell she trusts them completely.
