That is such a profound damnation of the entire MM audience as it is a phenomenal shot - and props to you for having the vision behind it. The lighting is so sublime, so simple and subtle in its drama. The emotional quiet and intensity of the model's expression is what brings this to life. It is a profoundly intimate portrait, rich with human texture and complexity. This is one of those shots that we all hope to achieve in our careers. Bravo!
