Well done. I am still trying to figure out why I like this image.

- Is it the slimness of the model?
- The power of the backlight?
- The richness of the red hair against the offset and mismatch of the toenail colour?
- The awkwardness of the pose?
- The balance of the subject within the frame?
- The rule of thirds framing?
- The fill lighting on the face?

I can not identify any one characteristic that makes it work for me. It is sexy, but not overtly. Maybe it is a combination of all of these attributes? Regardless, I like it and it exudes a power and strength. A well deserved success.

Oh my! Despite the lovely allure of her angelic face, she exudes a rather devilish strength with those muscular arms and makes think twice before deciding if she be friend or foe! Oh my! I'm rather enamored with your use of light, Johanna! (I think you must have super charged the model as well as that camera battery...;-)...)

Warmest Congrats!
