Now this one is colourful and a nice shot. Good effect too . It's a pity it doesn't have much room near the hand at the left side...too tight. That pair of pants she is wearing? -- I thought for a while you caught a mermaid, then I saw her sport shoes... She is cute too. Good job, John...

Hi Izzie,

She is supposed to be a mermaid, costuming budget must've been tight as well. Thanks for commenting.

She is certainly hypnotizing.
Nice one, John.

f/2.2, ISO 3200, 1/800sec
Shooting with the 85mm f/1.8 so I had no control over the crop as she advanced towards me.

Very nicely exposed, John...I don't like her blue lipsticks but it is OK if she like to look that way. This seems to be taken while there is still daylight abound...and bugger if I know why I kept looking at her hips, her shorts. I will not make any conclusion. This is where I stop.

Hi Izzie,

This was taken indoors under artificial lighting. I wasn't too sure of the fashion statement myself. There were quite a few creative fashion statements that evening. One model wore a Red Solo Cup skirt. Also, the blue lipstick did remind me of selective coloring. Thanks for commenting.

Interesting getup for sure.
John, I was wondering, are you doing any kind of special processing for these?

Hi Sergio,

I quickly process through Lightroom for lens correction and setting the black/white point, then I use NIK software Dfine for noise reduction, then use Elements to do any final adjustments; usually just sharpening. And of course I used the Elements radial filter for "Hypno Hula". I will sometimes use NIK Viveza tool to soften the skin and add contrast. Thanks for commenting.

Beautiful John...I believe you will say this is also a indoor shot...

I like her legs...pretty smooth. Are you that one included in the image?

Hi Izzie,

No, that's not me. Thanks for commenting.
