Finally my first submit, I registered here in 2005.
Have many times preparete to submit, but have never been pleased with what I had.
Hope I am going to become active in here from now on, my goal is to participate in two challenges a month (at least).
-------------------
As for the picture:
Raw converted to JPEG in Lightroom. Minor adjustment on exposure.
Resized for entry in PS.
The model is lit with one halogen worklight from 45degrees to the right. Black table sheet used as a background.
My camera settings are complete nonsens in this picture.
I was trying to get very low key by lowering the exposure. Instead of lowering my ISO, and take my aperture up,,I instead put shutter speed up two steps at a time and fired away dozens of shots ontil I got to the exposure I wanted, with only the "rear view" of the model visible.

Thanks for the nice comments, I really appreciate them.
I am very pleased with the result of my first challenge.
I had many outtakes for the challenge, and it was not my plan to submit a nude picture, but I just loved how this picture turned out, and the model also loved this picture the most. I knew it would get two or three 1´s in the voting because of the nude content, although I think it is very subtle and artistic.
The amount of 1 votes did though surprice me, are there really some peoble that hate nude so much??
Thats sad if it´s the reason for the one´s.
