thanks everyone, finally even Anastasia has got one ribbon. LOL!

some people asked me how I did the lighting on that one, it was a very simple trick really, I used pretty long shutterspeed of 1/30 and put my model in front of a huge softbox which made that light, bit overexposed with its purpose as a background. A silver reflector from the left side gave the wings a bit more light to let the structure go thru. And of course I had a wonderful graceful model, who is a professional ball room dancer :-) It helped a lot too...ah...one more thing, we had smth like 4 glasses of wine each before ;-) so it was even more fun.

here is

your Anastasia the Russki
