 A two light setup. This was shot during the night, but I wanted the look of the image being backlit, so I bounced a strobe off the white wall behind her. A second strobe bounced off the wall to the right created fill and some definition on the hat.

The lovely model is my next-door neighbor and good friend, who just happens to have a beautiful petite body.

Post processing is pretty much just Alien Skins Exposure 2, combined with just a hair of Topaz Adjust. Also, added a light black gradient on a softlight layer to add a bit of light dropoff to the bottom of the image. And, I cloned out a big freckle on her arm.

Perfect in B&W. The hat adds interest for sure.

Beautiful image. I only have two thoughts I would like to share, both with the posing. I'd either like to see no eyelash at all, or more of the eye. And I wish you had had the model pull her arm away from her body slightly so that it wasn't flattened against her shoulder.

Beautiful lines and tones. Just cropped a little too tight around her for my taste.

La luz es celestial, muy suave. Una cama o sofa mas firme podria haber mostrado mejor la figura del sujeto. Muy buena foto.
