December 24, 2015 9:05am This photo is a lesson in what makes an image strong and successful: the subject has a big and strong persona that reaches out and grabs the audience ESPECIALLY when it is after-the-fact and secondary (via an image).
Probably 90% of models either don't have the persona or can't-won't reach out. You come across like a tsunami!
The rest of the image works well because of your interpersonal contact. More, you have the ability to make a pinup both sexy and fun; that doesn't happen very often.
You get a 5-point A+ and even the Russian judge gives you a perfect 10!
