This shoot took place in our barn in front of an old rusty grain bin. That chain around her neck is a loggers chain and it's not light.
For lighting I used two alien bees and an SB600 flash. I had one AB400 camera left and aimed through a white sheet at the side of the models face. I had the other AB400 directly in front of me and shooting through a white umbrella up into the models face. For a key light I used a snooted SB600 camera right and pointing down at the models face. (You can see the angle from the shadows)

The stand-out in the challenge for me. The textures of the rust complement her skin really well. The orange make-up and eye shadow is a nice touch. My only tiny nitpicks are the stray hairs and the facial shadows. Outstanding entry overall. 8
lol.. isn't that a great way to compose a picture around rust. Shadows in the shoulder region. But the chain is focused nicely. The b/g adds to that rusted feel.
Captivating look... I like the make up and the background that echo the rusting chain...
May be a 10 if there was not the speck flash of white on the left shoulder behing the chain and the bit of white clothe (underwear) under the dark one.
Very very god shot indeed.
