 This is Ingunn, have taken pictures of her before and some of you might recognize her as my "elf". I recently stumbled upon a very similar picture of Heidi Klum when I was looking for her body paint shot for the recent nude challenge so the idea is from that photo. Will probably look it up after the voting is over and link to it, am editing this after midnight and just too tired to do it now but Heidi´s photo is with a white backround, she is in almost the same pose and in black leather pants. The "acronum" is hopefully pretty obviously "F**k You!" :) I don´t really think this shot is for the DPC crowd so I predict a 5.6-5.8 and will try to enter the open challenges this week so I don´t let my WPL teammates down but I like this shot :)

Lighting is three lights + one white bounce card, one big softbox from the right, another smaller softbox from the right behind for hairlight and a third one with a honeycomb to light up the backround a bit, the bounce is on the left.

Not much done in post processing, just basic raw conversion, curves, used high pass sharpening, very little of dodge/burn, shadow highlights and healing brush for some sensor dirt and to remove a levi´s tag on the pant´s that I thought was distracting.

Taste and vulgarity aside for the moment, it's abundantly clear as to her position! LOL!! What a hoot, dude!

I like the color and contrast and such - the face looks just a hint insincere but it's definitely a great piece.

I find the middle finger pointing up and the "FU" initials rather out of place and vulgar... JMHO

Frightening Underarm – 9

I can’t stand that you made me vote this high on such a rude and obscene gesture, but what can I do? There’s nothing here that can subtract from your score. Lighting, composition, emotion, meeting the challenge, it is all excellent. But I’m not giving you a 10 and that is final.

Looks like Larus, but not on your best days for my personal taste. Something about the post-processing, maybe a bit oversharpened? Or is it the pose or the background (looks fake)? Having a hard time putting my finger on it, but just not as thrilled as with other ones.

Sorry, I don't understand the "U". (Well, I do. But, I don't understand the acronym.) I like the photo just fine.
