 This is a tribute to Helmut Newton, the master of fetish and erotism. Loved by some and hated by others. Actually he was always critiqued by puritans or feminists, for they say he exposed women in some masoquist way... Actually I don't think his models looked inferior. I think he used to show women in an elegant way full of erotism, let's say sensual, yeah, but with that very good taste of him.
His speciallity was nude photography with odd backgrounds and sugestive poses... Well My work is way too far from what he did, but here's a little try, call it fanart!
By the way, on January 23th it'll be two years from his dead RIP Helmut Newton.

Helmut Newton typifies sex and BW photography. I think there is a bit of "sex" in this image by the use of just a tiny fold in her skirt. It makes your voters kinda wonder as skin is shown through. I think the shoes would have been better if they were solid and not patterned. Some hot spots and blown highlights might eventually hurt your score in this challenge. Good luck.

Very interesting understatement. Love the shadows beginning at the ball of the foot. The location gives it a great stark lead in to the subject. Bumping up.

This is a great picture, I'm just afraid that this will be voted down because of the size, you should use the 640 pixels that we are allowed to use in challenges.

I like the shadows from the legs and the hint of buttock. Maybe a tighter crop to rid the right side of the frame from too much light.
