WOW... that's were I have to start. This piece blew me away upon seeing it. Beautiful model... midnight setting... unique angle and pose.

I think your choice of exposure and DoF really add to the dark brooding feeling the image involks forcing our eyes back to temptation. but the pose is also very reminiscent of Manet's parody of Titian's Venus of Urbino but with a vampire allure.. (Links Added for clarity) .. the modern retelling of the reclining Venus equipped with mystery and danger

I would love to see the entire series.. You have a great feel for Black and White, and this completely compliments your incredible gallery.

Love this photo! From the matte reflection of light on the leather to the soft contrasting color of the models skin. The cold hard edges the concrete and stone contribute are so perfectly balanced by the soft curves of the model. For the composition of this photo I find the model to als be perfectly focused upon, allowing the viewer to have no doubt who is the center of this photograph. Using the rule of thirds the models eyes are also 1/3 the way from the top of the photo and her face is right at the intersection of the top third and right third. Bravo! Perfection!

Yea! So Good

it's an amazing shot: the lamps are blurred, the concrete/pavement sharply illuminated and the model, which seems on the one hand diffused as if she does not belong to the setting, is on the other hand the main attraction! really good and perfectly done.
