I love the contrast on this one.

I love the 'snapshot' feel of this shot; the model's pose is very natural, yet beautifully lit with what looks like natural light. The mono conversion has really helped to bring out the contrast and different textures. -JD

Great image, like the way it creates a slightly seedy atmosphere even without the title. Kind regards - Lee

How much does she charge? ... :):)

Serious now great capture i agree with all the above

Great work again.  If the DCMag sort themselves out, this is the types of shots that should be up there...

I think the pose is quite intriguing - and well lit - its a really interesting shot and congrats on it being chosen - cheers - Nick

Nice shot, Fred.  I like both the pose and your lighting on this one.  Keep up the great shooting!  Best regards, Michael.

"how much does she charge??" ..... dunno .... she paid me .... LOL!!!! how mad is that

oh ... just to let you know ... the original was a bit flat ... so i turned it to bw using gradient mao ... i added a duplicate layer .. added noise at around 6% ... used overlay in the layers palette ... knocked it down to about 50% ... then added an adjustment layer using gradient map again .. knocked it down to around 60% ... then on the original layer i selectivly dodged and burned .... used levels ... and then flattened the whole thing ... a slight curve adjustment was used to finish ..

Nice info...Cheers...

The square crop and B&W suit this very well Fred.  Congrats on the front page.  Cheers, Andrew.
