I had a really beautiful shot of my friend Kinsey submitted for the free study for quite a while, but after my shoot with sara I decided to enter this because it is different and I am curious to see how it is going to score. I have never done anything even close to nude before so I can't wait for some feedback. :)
This was lit with a softbox above and to the left of her and then an umbrella for a little bit extra fill light on the right. The place I photographed is the rehearsal hall of my school which is painted all black. I had no other lights on in the room so that's how I got the deep black contrasting to the textured floor near her, which is textured because of the scratches from chairs and whatnot in the room.
here is an outtake
and here is the shot I was going to enter before:

A beautiful model and I kinda like the spill of the hair. I'm not overly fond of the pose - I guess because I don't see a particular reason for it (other than it's different) and the model looks somewhat disinterested. Light is good, B&W conversion is very good as well.
