It's a nice shot - I fall into the camp that the angle is good enough to more than make up for the slight distortion of proportion: the eye adjusts for that. Skin tone is lovely. Tim A.

Olaf, The only thing I don't like about the posture and shooting angle is the exaggeratedly large shoulder that results. Other than that, I kind of like it -- even the part where the edge of the picture is near the face of the model. Somehow it works in this case. -- Victor

Definitely low-key. I am a bit ambivalent on the posture and the shooting-angle.

Thanks! I thought the wide lens added a little interest. I used auto white balance and desaturated it a bit in post processing - it was pretty orange out of the camera. I didn't shoot raw.

Congratulations on a fine first eligible entry. For 10mm, the perspective distortion is very reasonable. I'd be afraid to take a shot like that with such a wide lens. I like the lighting. What color balance did you use? -- Victor
