Well, I'm happy with my concept, but still struggling with my execution.
I had the idea early on of finding a quotation appropriate to a feminine nude, and then projecting it onto a model.
I love the Oscar Wilde quotation that I found. I created a Powerpoint slide with the text, and projected that using an LCD projector. I did a lot of exposure bracketing and fiddling with camera settings to come up with a decent exposure. Often if the text was well exposed, the other elements of the shot were underexposed; fixing the exposure of the other elements would usually blow out the text! For example, I found a nice backdrop, and used a spot lamp on it, but in the end I used a take where you can't even see it!
It was a learning experience. Again.
I balanced color and levels in PS Elements, Sharpened, Resized, and Sharpened.
Thanks to my very patient and cooperative model.

I gave you an eight and was considering a nine I think since I thought this one was at least one of the five best photos in this challenge and I still think so. I don't understand why it didn't go closer to the top.
Very interesting Picture. I do not like the shadow formation in the left armpit. It breaks the silouhette I think if the model raised her arms, the effect would have been more apealing.
But that's just me
