Linger

I have watched your work for some time, and so there is some bias, as I too love the B&W more than the color world, so keep that in mind.

Of all the pieces in your DA portfolio, I feel that this is one of your strongest images with the bondage root concepts that you have ever shown.

The complex details on the background are reminiscent of the eerie feelings of the swamp monster, or creature from the black lagoon. The setting is absolutely perfect for this shot, as well as Laura for your model with this piece.

I have seen other with this color and choice of tones, I could only offer that if you were to lock in on a color tones/set that this would be ideal. With the rich hues and strong contrast.
For a large degree of your work tends to have some flat lighting setups, I think that this piece is a stellar composition with the soft erotica feel, and yet all the complexity of a suspension shoot.

The details are only slightly marred with the results of the editing near the the treeline (top center) and the ground foliage is clearly a mixed abstract feeling, with the structure of the model and the detail form.

Keeping with this look and style, I could see lots of possibility for a vintage series of Suspension work, or some sort of fantasy 1800's Rope work series like this.

With my VERY limited time shooting a suspension series myself, I feel that your a better candidate to get that perfect model (such as in this example) and to carry this series forward with this style and details.

The last thing that I could offer, is that you should develop a credit (image signature and a copyright logo) for ALL of your web published works. As well perhaps you should look at ways to crafting a more appealing frame for an image of this caliber.

If this is only the tip of the iceberg for what your setting out to do, I would enjoy seeing more of this series with this level of detail, clean lines, and color tones. It clearly shifts your style around, and the image grips you and causes your eye to wander the frame looking for the details.

I was compelled to comment on this, but after reading your recent blog here at DA, I felt it better to give you a more comprehensive critique.
