This is a model called Charley (www.charleya.co.uk) she's actually British but I wanted to keep the title as a reference to the film.
It's done in my studio with a red fabric on the floor and some fake rose petals for the "American Beauty" effect.
Lighting is from a single bowen strobe with barndoors.
Post processing was minimal with some hue/sat adjustments, levels, NI, USM, minor blemish cloning. That's it I think

I was trying to stop drooling long enough to find something about this i didn't like.
Her fingernails are a weird color.
I love the movie reference and the photo is simply jaw-dropping.
Tells you something when a healthy, heterosexual male's eyes are first drawn to the lopped off knee rather than any of the other bits and pieces of the model... The lighting is quite nice. Not sure about the blue fingernails.
wow, provacative. The pose, composition, and colors of this are great. The only thing I'd like better is if the hard shadows by her arms and legs were gone.
I like the shooting angle, her expression and pose, although it makes her look a bit skinny. Don't like the purple nails...
Crop at right is quite unfortunate, lighting could also be improved.
