This took a lot. A few hours shopping getting all the props. An hour to setup including painting Kita. It doesn't show up but she is completely covered in paint.
I then laid out the materials on the carport floor. I laid Kita into position with a couple of foam pads under her head and right arm. I removed the one under her knee before I took the shots. She was lying on pavers for about 30 minutes so it was very uncomfortable for her. I then laid out the beads and resprayed her hair,even though it doesn't show up properly....and then gave her the paintbrushes.
She was wearing knickers but it took a bit to wrap her in the beads and other material.
I stood a ladder to behind her and laid a plank of wood on the top of the ladder across to the patio railing and crawled out onto it so I was lying above her. Damion held the plank at the other end while the boys stood by ready to move any prop that was out of place.
I took about 10 shots but wasn't happy with the expression on her. A fly was annoying her and she couldn't relax....that was her excuse. LOL!!

definately underrated, this was very close to what I wanted to do for purple but never got out to ge the stuff for it and i had this shot pegged as a top ten at least.
really, so much work done here... and very nice result. you should have scored a lot higher! don't stop doing what you think is best, even if the votes doesn't show.
I like this photo a lot - the pose is great, the lighting excellent, and it's different to everything else in the challenge. I'm not sure about the white surround, though.
