Taken in the desert outside of Los Angeles. I wish you could see her eyes better, but this was the photo of her body twisting so I felt it met the challenge best. Two strobes, sunlight behind the chair.

Thanks, Jaded. I think it's clear by the voting this is not the kind of image that will do well here. It's my only photo that anyone made a "fave" and yet it is also my lowest scoring photo! LOL. I wanted to try and submit something edgier since my tame shots were really not doing very well. Oh well. I can't seem to figure DPC out. Will have to keep working harder for some magic shots!
Great model photography. I can't even begin to come close to this. My only minor nitpick is the pose. Even for an intentionally posed model shot it looks awkward and contrived to me.

Wowsa. What a beauty. Her eyes are nearly completely obstructed by her hair and her stare is still piercing. If her hair was out of her eyes I bet this would be Spectacular. The placing of her hand of her tattooed arm is a bit weird. I think one finger is down in the dirt or something because she almost appears to be missing half of a finger. Overall very cool shot though. Beautiful lighting and exposure and Black and white works wonderfully too.
