 My wife remembered her neon bathing suit, from when they were fashionable 10 (edit: make that 15, now that I think about it!) years ago. She dug it out, and it still fit fine. I went out and bought a couple of black light bulbs at Home Depot, poured the wine, turned up the tunes, and this was the result.

Really nice! I'll be interested to know how this effect (natural or not) was achieved. I just took one more look and bumped this to an 8 from my previous 7

Black light? The colors have something of the glow of neon. Nice composition, nice model.

Interesting mood in this photo due to the blacklight. Much more elegant than many other photos here.

Black lighting objects can sure change an appearance.
Good composition & unique approach to the challenge.
Just wish the swimsuit was a bit darker and not appearing over-exposed.
Well Done ((7))

Original - I wonder what it would have looked like without the lipstick. Great job :)

This might be better with the woman's head cropped out. The combination of the blacklight and the angle make her look rather frightening.

I didn't know there was a modeling agency hiring out dark Elves! You missed your chance to paint on the swimsuit and enter the same pic into the Nude II challenge!

Great idea, pose, crop, and subject. The way you've made the neon colors of the suit stand out is great. Good job all around.

Could have more contrast in the clothing.

Nice old 80's swimsuit. Good use of blacklight. This is just the caveman in me speaking out but unzipping the suit just a tad mnore would have given this just a little more sex appeal. Good work.

A biut less black area in the top would help this image for me.

The colours here work really well, and I love the cool blue tones (black light I presume) on the flesh.
