As soon as I saw those statue thingies I knew this shot had to be taken.
**EDIT**
Daily Deviation - Wow! Cheers to Wolfskin and Scottb for suggesting it and giving it.
Too many comments to reply to each individually, but I'll answer a couple items that have poped up a couple times.
#1 the things in the background are actually statues found at our local botanic gardens, I had to sneak in at dawn to get to shoot there withoug people around.
#2 Alot of people talk about how gaunt she is - but she is actually a very healthy sized person, I've worked with many models that are thinner, most of my models in fact that I have worked with and that feature in this and my other galleries would actually probably be a bit thinner than this girl. The gaunt effect comes from the pose - anyone that isnt overwieght is going to have ribs show if they take a deep breath in, suck in their tummey and stretch their arms overhead. Have a look at the size of her legs and arms - she is not at all 'gaunt'.
