Great shot, tells the story. Comp is very good, B&W makes the shot. Perhaps a bit much 'dirt' on her, but still one of my favorites.

Lady Godiva! You have certainly made someone who was no doubt already off-the-chart beautiful -- off the chart sensational! Wow!

Hi Wendy

Lighting set up using two 60cm soft boxes at 45degrees on either side to the front (although I cloned out one of the catch lights in the eye)
Black background

Editing was pretty straight forward

Heal any skin imperfections using the heal brush, then applied very light dusting of Nik Tools dynamic skin softener 5% on all three settings
Pump the eyes with dodge and burn + selective sharpening
Added contrast to the under ware
Dodge and burn to the hair
Then a bit of Nik tools glamour glow brushed onto the hair and skin to give the bronzed soft feel

I really am just learning as I go 6 months ago lutchenko and I didn't know what a studio light looked like, but there are so many online free tutorials that help with the steep learning curve.

Hope this helps

I'd clone out that writing across her body, it's a bit distracting :)

Very nice! I'm curious about your lighting setup.

Also, the big question, did you use a soft focus filter, did you photoshop it? It's very soft and smooth and I'm wondering how you acheived that. (I'm just learning lighting/indoor portraiture, so I need the basics...)

This is drop dead gorgeous!! The only flaw I can see if that her forehead is pretty splotchy - but she has a rockin body and this is beautiful!!
