I don't seem to be able to come out with an interesting non-trivial idea for any of the themes, so I decided to approach one of them dead on.

    Yeah I decided to enter that one since I already have it ready.
    I am still working on alternative ideas, but they may not come to fruition at all, so hopefully this one will get me there at least half-way...

    She is actually a total n00b in the modeling world. That was her first studio shoot ever eek7.gif . At first I had to direct pretty much every move of every muscle of her nice lean body...rolleyes1.gif
    But she turned out to be a very fast learner, so even though we only covered some basic stuff posing-wise we ended up with a lot of keepers (as you can see from these teasers), and she became much more confident by the end of the shoot.
    She loves the results, too:-) :D

    True, but bass players seem to be a bit touchy on that subject.:D

    Thanks (meant to say that before this) but I don't think he can compete with pretty girls.

    Ha Ha! just what I thought when I saw it, and this after returning from a rather long hiatus of posting to the challenges here, Wow! I'm doomed, and obviously I need to meet some pretty girls that like to pose! Ha Ha!

    love it.
    the flash`s and the light`s are at the right position.
    onw one could do better light here. looks perfect.
    shadows are missing and this is really hard to get,
    due to the frontal flash , there must be shadows in the face,
    but an extra side flash catch it.

    really good work clap.gif
