What a gorgeous double portrait, Johanna! And huge congrats on your first ribbon!!! WOOT! :-)

ETA: seconding the previous comment by CNovack on the film noir aspect of this shot. Very emotive of that period, very Mickey Spillane-ish. Excellent work.

Groan, not another cat on the net!
Great result, very arty indeed. You're a versatile and diverse 'tog. Keep it up.
[ETA] Odd that you should use a DX on your D700 FX. What's that all about? If I remember you can set the D700 to DX mode? But why?! Lack of FX glass?

I step away and come back to see you have ribboned. Congrats Johanna! You are no longer the bridesmaid;-P

Absolutely love the photo and fabulous title! Lighting is wonderful. The set-up, costumes, and pose of the models makes me think of film noir. There is an air of mystery but also an element of danger. Mel has a nervous and a frightened look. She makes me think of the dame in danger in the old detective novels/movies who cling to the hero/protecter while looking over their shoulder. Here it is the trusty and faithful dog, Isabella, who will protect her from those nasty thugs:-) Fantastic work and congrats again on the ribbon.

This is artsy - and I too almost went with a cat photo. Still too burnt from the camera bag challenge last year, thought too many others would have the same idea. :-) This is lovely!
