Taken when I was assisting in a photoshoot for Hywell Phillips... the model was Francesca Lee, and the shoot was for Hywell's website 'www.restrainedelegance.com'.
I had a blast! I loved using his Canon DSLR, I think the time may come soon for me to upgrade!

I just re-vistited this (it's been in my favourites folder for quite some time), and, interestingly enough actually snorted when I noticed the score it had received.
Bob, didn't get round to voting on this one during the challenge but it would have got a high score from me, love the high key effect. The only thing that plays on my mind is the lack of texture of whatever she is kneeling on, almost looks like she is floating in mid air (not that I could have done better!). One of the truly underrated shots of the challenge.
this picture is just amazing. i gave it a 9. im very disapointed it didnt finish top ten. it mustve been fun shooting this. id like to get into photography like this. great photo.
This picture is just amazing I would say its too good for this site cause aperently they cant appriciate it man Way too low. Look forward to see more from you :D (sorry about bad spelling:p)
I didn't have time to comment on this challenge.
This is really great. I love the overt the top high key treatment. SO many times this genre is shot dark dark dark... trying to set a mood.
This was my favorite of the challenge, and I gave it a 10. I would have given it a 15 if I could. The quality of the photo is amazing, it's a perfect shot in every way. It's too bad so many people have these ideals that tell them to vote nudity down. It's stupid and destructive to DPC and photography as a whole. Instead of voting on the quality, effort, uniqueness, it's voted down because it contains nudity. Those people abviously don't have sex, and probably don't even shower (cause then they would be nude)
This is the top photo in this challenge in my eyes.
Keep up the good work, and don't let the BS get you down!
Peace,

Another entry which has been under rated. Too many entries and the voters lean more towards the easy decision of color and idea on your face. A very good effort. Keep it up.
excellent pic, one of my few tens, 126th is just stupid, I really wonder what voters are thinking - clearly they don't all rate the photo and creativity, this should have been so much higher
the overexposure is cool but her right hand is almost lost on my monitor, her knees look funny at the bottom, i would crop them right at the border to make it look like she is resting on the border to even them out..just a suggestion..other than that it is a strange but well done shot
Lovely high work, with an "intereting" clash between the fluffy bits and the (rather wonderful) stocks. Absolutely stunning model as well ... hope you didn;t release her ;) 10
Really like the effect, and the model ain't hard on the eyes either. Editing along the bottom of the legs looks shabby - shadows cloned out maybe? Overall, very nice.
Definatley very interesting. I like the lighting very much. I also like the softness of the photo. This is very tastefully done. I love the expression on her face. Love the focus on her face. Nice detail. I like how the photo is so light, and the restraints are darker, adds a bit of contrast to the photo. Very nice. ~Heather~
If I were male you'd get a 9 for subject matter alone, but I'm not. :-) I would prefer that her nipple was covered. The netting is practically invisible here - the only reason I noticed it was because I thought her 'skin' looked funny (her left side) and I had my face to the screen trying to figure out what it is. In fact, I believe it's a ripple in the netting that I see. I like the selective color or burning that you did do the contraption. :-) After all that, I still gave you a 9 for being daring with the subject matter and the use of highkey. Nice job.
Nice subject. Nice high key capture. There are some distracting artifacts along her left side (right side from our view point). Also there's a pretty harsh line along her leg that looks like a shadow from something supporting her. These spoil an otherwise worthy entry IMO.
I am sure this image is being met with severe criticisms regarding the subject mater...which is sad because it is both highly erotic and very alluring. Technically it is also very well done, perhaps a thad over exposed but nevertheless it works very well. love it. a 10.
kinky? definitely. trashy? personally i don't think so. i like the pale whiteness of the whole image - her skin, clothing, hair and background. brings out the darker (colour and spirit) aspect of the restraint. the furriness of the clothing does make the whole scene more playful, which i think is a very good thing. 9.
A little too kinky for my taste, but still easy on the eyes. I like the contrast that the white background, blonde hair, and "wardrobe" has with the irons. Nice job. I gave it a 6
Returning for comments.
Very well done with a killer high key look. It is not a piece of cake to photograph and there is a danger when the model goes on their knees. It is always better to have the patela rest on a hard surface so as to mauntain the shape of the lower thigh. The right leg is perfect, the left is sinking into the white and creating a straight lines that from joint all the way across. Regardles the genetal pose is good and the facial expression very nice. Bumping up.
hi key wonder. great friggin shot. she looks a lot like britney spears, (you could post it and sell it to N enquirer) hi score from me, I hope you do well!
Very nicely done! The high-key effect with the contrast of the shackles work well. It looks like there is a slight sepia tint which I really like. I would love to see an explanation of the setup and editing process you used.
I like this technique (the photography, not the thing around her neck) a lot. :)
Well done. The black of the iron/leather gives the shot some punch and so do her eyes btw.
There is one tiny "problem" imho:
The furry bits are connected with a very fine fabric. Because of the lighting its exposure is on the limit of the visible dynamic range scale. So at first I thought that she had a strange skin on her belly. Especially at the right side it wrinkles a lot giving the skin a strange appearance at first. She really has to stretch those clothes a bit. Oh wait, she can't.... :)
very impressive, I like it a lot - well done, it's a great pic and very suggestive, I'm sure that it will make many of us feel 'I wanna play' but I guess that there will be those sadly disturbed by the image, c'est la vie.
Would have been a much more striking image if not quite so high-key. My monitor is calibrated and I have to tilt the LCD just to see whole outline of her body.
Wow. Beautiful photo. The *only* slight itty bitty thing that bugs me is the gather on her clothing (on her left side, torso area). It kind of makes her skin look strangely wrinkled. But again, wow. 9
