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 :)

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.

Thanks ;)

Great strong compostion, the two man's shapes talk magnificently to the the windows' squares.

Hi, this is a piece the waterfront area of the old city of Otranto, on the extreme southern tip of the italian Adriatic sea :), famous for its Martyrs of the Turks' siege in 1482, and for the immense Tree of Life mosaic floor of the magnificent romanic cathedral plus is the same city as in the "Castle of Otranto", gothic short novel by Sir Horace Walpole written in the early XIXth century
