beautiful shot!! amazing...! i'm an amateur photog & i have tons of questions about how you accomplished this.... this is way, way, way beyond my skill level. you obviously brought in lighting, right? something about her skins looks 'surreal'. why is that?? also does the camera have something to do with it? i have a digital rebel xt, & i doubt i could get a shot like this with it...
