F/2, i think this is more crop factor then else, also backround was reflecting much light, so getting more attention than it should. Thank you, anyway :)

Stana is a superb model, a real performer. You just need tell her what you want, and she does straight away. She just does to the last comma what man Ray reported Helmut Newton told him, about the model being 90% of the final result, when you are lucky to shoot this top kind of models. Thanks to you all for your comments :)

Cause the idea is to focus close, wide, and blurred. You can't do that with a macro lens, which will be longer focal and less fast. Am I right! I love this photo, and this style of shooting flowerbs and herbs. My compliments!

Yes, sure, i added grain in LR. I was using a 20mm as i was lying on the floor, maybe 5 feet away from her at most, and this makes for this never-ending-legs effect, which i am crazy for.

Yannaann, seems to me you are obsessed with this picture, which means that deep insiede you are attracted by it. And you sound to be a self-righteous guy, dispensing moral judgements. And also it seem very evident you know nothing about Photography, confusing what your personal liking with general statements. Auschwitz...i don't know your age, and certainly i myself was born much after those horrors...well, i have never seen a picture of a woman (survived) in that horror place who still had such full breasts, and definitely not one where they where smiling/mocking. This whole serie was intended t be an open homage to Helmut Newton's Big Nudes, if you know what i'm talking about. It is evident, once more, that one always sees what he already has in its mind. Cheers from sunny Italy.
