wow, what a beautiful model, you show just the perfect amount of skin for this posture.
it really reminds me on the sheakespeare books/movies somehow, might has to do with the clothes and the old couch...
the tatoo and the noise/jpg-artefacts in the background distract a little though.
anyways great work with posing and setting up the shot, not to mention the beautiful lighting. i like it :)

aah, firenze, beautiful city, been there a few years back.
really like the warm cororing you chose here, maybe just a little too much processing in the clouds...
otherwise great shot

Originally posted by Melethia: LOVE the train going by! Excellent control of light. You should note your approach to these - shoot manual? Underexpose? By how much?

i exposed for the foreground and compensated down by half a step to get enough detail in the wall but avoiding blown outs in the bright background.
i shot M at f6.7 and 1/30" and iso100. i thought 1/30 would be long enough to get the train blurred, but i should of decided for a bit longer exposure (though i did'nt have a tripod so 1/20 would've been longest i could manage handheld...). anyways i tested the exposure and then just had to wait like 10 minutes for the next train to pass by :)

thanks for your feedback deb, really appreciate it!

eta: some of the shots in this series are hdr's from 3 exposures -2/0/+2 put together in photomatix, then processed in cs3 (one simple gradient map for b&w, then another gradient map on soft light mode for contrast and warm toning, and at last, if necessary, curves adjusts; no spot editing was done in any of these images)
