Maisey

Ooh, I'm up for anything with Morricone in it!

Thanks very much, Capt'n! I'm glad to hear that the composition worked out in the end. When I first had this in my head, the values were sort of reversed, with the light coming from the opposite side. I'd intended for it to be dark behind Maisey, with just a little light coming from between the boards, and her looking over to the right, and the whip partially obscured by the other dark values around it. I sort of turned it "inside out," and everything fell into place. Almost like I knew what I was doing!

High praise, coming from you!

Definitely a sweet piece, as Capt’n Frydog has so well analyzed. I especially like the look on her face, pensive, yet accepting, as to what is about to transpire. Perhaps an alternate title could be “The Whip, The Girl, and The Condom” (cue the Morricone music). And I’m wondering if that shirt ever had a chance of keeping anything contained…

Couldn’t have put it better myself, Capt’n!

Wow, this one is really firing on all cylinders! I love the lighting, with the POV being in the dark of the barn looking out into the light, and all the lighting on Maisey matches perfectly. Maisey's pose and facial expression look great! The barn theme is carried on throughout from the wooden beams to the impression of hay bales stacked up in the background to the rustic looking bullwhip and rough looking ropes to Maisey shirt and ponytail. Even her simple cleave gag perfectly fits the setting. The dark whip visually balances out Maisey leaning off center away from it and the sweeping line of her body gives her a very dynamic look. Exceptionally well done!

Thanks, JC! I wasn't sure if this was going to work out for a while, but I'm pleased that it came together in the end, and that you like it.

That's a great Maisey picture - good scene, viewpoint, and she looks 100%. Really nice work on this one.
