This was a fun shoot with Mara. Had to ford a river, hike through the woods and go four wheeling in a Honda Element for this.
Is it Demi Moore? Maybe, probably not. :-)
Did I use artificial lighting? Maybe a little fill flash. You bet I did. Looks natural though, doesn't it? The trick is balancing flash with ambient lighting.

She reminds me a bit of Demi Moore... Cool pose - albeit a little contrived. I didn't vote on this challenge, but it would have scored a solid 7 from me. :-) You do know your women well...
Overall a killer photo. Tiny minor things do bug me.
Too much black. The straw the broke the camel's back for me was the nail polish.
The extended magazine on the M9 bothers me. An extended mag is more about function than form...they don't photograph very well...makes me think the mag is falling out.
I would have like to see her look a bit dirtier, not like she just stepped out of the shower, but more like she just rubbed out a hand full of terrorists.
I'm pleased with the fact that her finger is off the trigger, it makes the photo more real, as though she might have actually had a bit of training rather than just a pretty face who was handed a prop. I also like that the M9 looks like it has seen service rather than some neglected safe queen.
Looks like you are having a lot of fun with your shoots. That is terrific. Nice lighting and pose. The only negative is the zombie hand, but it is quite minor. Nice lighting and congrats on the wonderful score. (Incidently I loved your Missing Link photo more!).
Looks like I'm not the only one who thought Demi Moore. Sorry you didn't place higher. I have to disagree with routerguy666 in that I think the messy hair is a big part of what makes this picture. Naughty guy with the fill flash on this challenge, and it kind of shows with the reflections. I still love it and I'm adding it to my favorites.
I like this one a lot! It has sort of a Demi Moore look. Excellent composition. The background isn't pleasant, but it does match the title, expression and gun. 10
Sexy shot. Only things that bug me are the bright spot on the forehead and the messy hair along the arms. Obviously it's not a glamor shot, but to my eye it would have more impact without the messy hair distracting my eye. Good luck!
