Description
Well...I made this one for the fun.
The original picture was created to make a kind of poster. I let some 'free' space on the left in case we had to add some text.
Benedicte has something in her that makes her stand out over the rest. Even if she could be sometimes more "expressive" in front of the camera. She's a 'natural' beauty. I hope to shoot with her again soon.
Finally, I've decided to create an 'optical' game quite an optical illusion. When you first look at the picture, your eyes will go first ...well on Benedecite's chest. We are human after all. :)
But adding some light strips on the left created a point of contrast in the picture. So your eyes will now go from the lightest zone (light strips) to the darkest zone (Benedicte) and when you will go back there (darkest zone), again to her chest and so on. You've been trapped.
So again, you can see (it's the exact word) that it's very easy to fool the beholder's eyes.
Sorry for the long text, but I wanted to explain my goal in this picture.
I hope you will enjoy it.
Comments are welcome.
Peace,

Lovely!!!!!!!!!
Benedicte is so very beautiful, and she may not display a wide variety of expressions, but hers is always regal and sensual. Well done!
she's so beautiful and clasic.
She's in my bucket list:):):):):)
Yes indeed, she has a royal presence. Your lighting is excellent and you have achieved your goal. Well done!
Excellent picture! Her pose is befitting of a queen
Actually, I went north before I started the tour! All hail the queen!
Long live the Queen!!!! I was actually drawn to her face first, sorry to ruin your plan. All of her is gorgeous, but I love her face and her legs the most, but her breasts are a very close third. Benedicte, you are wonderful!!!! I hope you two do another shoot soon!!! Favorite!! ^_^
You are right about the trap although I too was (again and again) fascinated by her face and... She IS a queen!
Caught in the trap . . .Nice concept and execution . . .I echo "Hail to the Queen" . . . B
Beautiful, enjoy seeing her in your work, love the composition, excellent capture!!!!!!!!!!!!
Read (or re-read) "La Beauté" by Charles Baudelaire. This is, my opinion, one of your best shots ever. Congrats!
Big fan of Benedicte, but can't say this one has sucked me in. It seems incongruent, her body shows life, refinement, and grace, but her face seems tired, fed up, and beaten. The angle seems to flatten out the features, and it almost looks if there's a mask between her cheek bones and mid forehead. I do like the dress, posture and lighting (especially the shadow blinds), but keep coming back to the face, like there's something missing. Maybe a more soulful or stern expression, and not such a vacant stare that depicts a boredom with life?
