My first attempt at some tasteful nudes. I wanted to do a non-typical model. This was actually the second pose we did in our 3 hour session. I loved the simplicity of this and the relaxed expression and hand. I really hope this one scores well.

I did have some real problems with banding in the shaded area of her front thigh. I hope that my "fix" will suffice for the challenge.
