didn't exactly have "Odissi" (a kind of Indian dance) in mind when I took this picture (we just kind of naturally arrived at it), but when searching for something I might title it, I came across this website:
and I thought the resemblance was close enough that I might use the name for a title.
I am happy with the way this came out, though it's nothing like what I was visualizing when I started shooting.
lighting was a 500W work light bounced off the background, which was my garage door. curves adjustments and dodging turned the background pure white. added extra white space on the left to balance composition.
focal length 49.0mm

If only you could get rid of the very faint line to the left of her. It pulls my view directly to it against that white background even more than she does. Good silhouette!
