Nice shot! It doesn't capture some of what I think is the best of Weston's sense of form, though there is more to his work (I love it when he captures a subject with notable depth that is conspicuously flattened thus abstracted with his capture -- I think your subject was too flat to start with to recreate that). With that in mind, I think the contrast, lighting, framing, and spirit of your shot are spot on. I really like it.

Great textures in her dress, wonderful lines, and her hands complete this interesting composition.

Thanks John...funny about the creepy...others have thought she seemed dead, perhaps the stiffness and the pose of the hands lend to that, and of course the missing head. I never saw it that way, I was too busy swimming in all the detail.

somewhat creepy...I like the alternating tones of the background and hands.
