Okay, I admit Heather got a little help from her friend Racheal in this pose :-)

Post-challenge: Wow, 70 comments! Thank you all! But just to clarify, yes this is two models. In fact, I'm amazed at how many of you really thought this was one model. If you ever meet a human being who can get into this pose, let me know!

Looks like two different models instead of one very flexible one.

great idea

Interesting if slightly disturbing image. But i like it and it`s different.8

Just a little bit too odd to appeal to me... her neck looks broken.

Whoa, this is neat to look at just because of the pose! The shadows are a little distracting, without them it would look like she's flying I think.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/17/2009 10:43:01 AM
She doesn't look very comfortable, it's certainly a different pose, good luck
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 10:29:34 PM
Two models here?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 07:16:01 PM
Wow. What an unusual pose.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 05:30:14 PM
Good illusion -- it's disturbing because it looks so painful. I like thepale skin and red hair against the gray background. This makes me think of something classical, perhaps Ophelia drowning.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 04:35:34 PM
This almost looks painful. Nice pose, though I think having all of her in the shot would improve it while still being tasteful.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 10:12:45 AM
Unique pose!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 01:06:10 AM
Nice lighting, and interesting pose. I wish she was completely in frame though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 12:40:08 AM
Ouch! Your model looks like a dead, broken, mannequin. it's a decent photo with good technicals but I'm having trouble getting over the dead part. Sorry.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 08:16:34 PM
Beautiful model. Could have had a great shot without the legs. Looks unnatural more than unusual.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 05:02:45 PM
wow! beautiful photo. might have prefered a full body shot though. it seems kinda chopped
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 04:27:53 PM
very interesting. I wish the lighting was better though because while the pose is lovely, those shadows are really distracting
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 01:06:01 PM
Great pose. Thought provoking.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 11:55:52 AM
This must be two girls!! I love her hair.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 07:29:38 AM
I admit she is flexible but from an aesthetic point of view the image does not appeal to me. It's just such an odd pose.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 05:10:03 AM
interesting crop , great light, nice idea....

well done



thx, brano

I've seen this pose before but just can't remember were right now. Interesting and provocative.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 11:49:25 PM
Gotta love the red hair.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 11:26:31 PM
man i;ll say she is ... nice skin tones lighting a little harsh for me
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 10:52:01 PM
I'm thinking two people.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 05:11:20 PM
If these body parts belong to the same person, then Holy Cow!!!! Interesting and rather disturbing
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 02:31:27 PM
This works very well indeed - I would probably prefer it even more if the breasts weren't partially covered, but thta would probably be too much for DPC sensibilities!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 01:47:05 PM
Wow! That's quite a pose! Don't think I could do that in a million years! Great composition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 05:38:29 AM
wow....
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 01:02:36 AM
I really like this, it's tastefully done and not showing all of her gives it a bit of mystery.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 12:09:52 AM
Contortionist! 8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 10:39:15 PM
that looks real uncomfortable, nice lighting
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 09:20:09 PM
This pose looks so painful and the crop of the left does not help much either.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 05:14:51 PM
Doesn't look too comfortable, though. Hard on the back I guess ;-)
Wouldn't be surprised if there is a single person somewhere that is able to do that, though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 10:37:42 AM
interesting idea, there's something about the crop that is not working for me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 07:59:52 AM
Nice shapes and color. Interesting use of light!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 07:42:57 AM

03/13/2009 03:12:47 AM
Very flexible and beautiful tones. 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 12:43:19 AM
This has me thinking it's two models.. :) Great studio shot though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 12:04:08 AM
nice visual effect, IMO there may be a little too much light on the models upper torso but cool none the less :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 10:49:03 PM
Nice image but it makes me uncomfortable
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 10:00:02 PM
This is a great idea, but I feel needs some MUCH more dramatic lighting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 09:31:05 PM
this is interesting but in an odd kind of way, not a helpful comment probably, sorry.
It seems like 2 people?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 09:09:07 PM
2 girls but clever
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 07:00:31 PM
Beautiful, in concept and execution
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 03:55:15 PM
Wow so flexible, that is amazing. The image is kind of creepy, just the way she is placed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 03:41:09 PM
creative portrait - fun
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 03:23:53 PM
WOW, nice shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 02:11:51 PM
Almost looks like a mannequin. Good shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 01:21:50 PM
Words escape me, I can't stop looking....Wow
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 12:00:45 PM
Interesting composition and angle of view. Nicely done, but the skin tones of the legs are slightly different from the woman's top half.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 11:03:33 AM
That looks uncomfortable.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 12:21:49 AM
Ouch. Interesting composition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 10:41:53 PM
That looks painful! Interesting idea.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 09:33:14 PM
I like the softness and white of the skin against the flash of red hair.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 09:26:55 PM
Wow, that is flexible. I like the curve of her body in the composition, and it has really nice lighting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 02:02:44 PM
Looks a little uncomfortable!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 01:58:46 PM
She is very flexible! Love how the way you have shot this makes her look like a broken doll
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 12:58:01 PM
Nice job with the lighting, and an interesting composition!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 12:49:54 PM
it hurts me to look
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 12:21:40 PM
interesting idea, i really like the smoothness of the skin here. very nice.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 12:19:09 PM
So completely wonderful in it's oddness...you can't help but stare. I'd love to see this in B&W also.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
