Wow this is the second highest image I have ever entered in a challenge. Thanks so much for your support and comments.
I wanted to tell you all I think I learned something here. Jessica and I were shooting with another photographer and he and I were sharing the strobes. At this shot I had my 50-200mm lens on and boosted my ISO to 400 since it wasn't my turn to use the strobes. The light source is from the modeling lights in the background.
After reading some of the comments I thought to myself I should not have converted it to B&W. So I figured I would upload the color and you can tell me if you think it is better.
As you can see the questions as to the placement of the body are answered in the original with her hands on her hips and the entire body perfectly centered in the frame. I liked the Crescent in the title because it reminded me of how the moon looks as a crescent in the sky, sometimes it almost looks like you can see the dark side of the moon.
Very unique title, but the lighting and pose makes it worthy of the score I gave it. I think that the tiny tatoo is a bit of a distraction at that location. It's sort of a catch 22, if you show it too much, you'll get panned, if you hide it, it might not be the best pose. Good luck.
can imagine this works better if rotatetd by 90° clockwise and with more nrgative space above (left of) her and less below (right of her). light on her chest is a little hot.
Nice idea. A lovely study of form. I really like the concept, and how you've used light here. I wish there was just a slight bit less negative space at right. Definitely not a lot less, just a tad, I think it would echo the form a little stronger if it were a little less. A beautiful shot though, very good job.
The camera angle makes this shot distorted in a not very flattering way. Maybe try to get a lower angle so the breasts don't look much larger than the legs.
