I've been thinking about this for about a week now. I want to get this as nearly perfect as I can. That said, let me start here: this is, perhaps, the best single photo of you - Ophelia - that I have seen on this site.
The background doesn't drown you out and your outfit is perfect. I've seen lots of corsets that do nothing more than mash the wearer's breasts into nothingness, but this one cups you perfectly, molds your figure to perfection and the pose is as perfect as human beings can devise.
Also, I completely disagree about the focus of your eyes. Staring at the camera gives the impression that you are staring at us, your onlookers. They rivet us, pin us down and don't allow for squirming.
Congrats to you and the photographer. You have have given us perfection and allow us to view it. We are in your debt.
A spectacular flash-point moment perfectly captured. As with any of the works by this same team, it is difficult to determine who should get overall credit - but I maintain that it is the team that produces the magic: a collaborative effort.
The overall design is well thought out. The continuity is flawless and the overall toning is in perfect sync to the message. We see no cold blue or pale greens here: all is red and yellow as it should be. The flames and sparks segue seamlessly into the background as does the hinted winged silhouette behind the subject.
The photograph on which this is based is excellent: the posture of the hands and expression glows with vulnerability - and yet the harsh glitter of the corset counterpoints this with a sort of armoured resistance. Ms. Overdose always carries this sort of thing off with elan - no exception here. The photographer carries off their end of the job with the same high standard. Nothing to fault here at all.
The counterpoised vulnerability/resistance matches with the flames and sparks. I take it that these symbolize power - hidden and overt - the overall effect being to show the power of both resistance and vulnerability combined. This tension of opposing forces culminates in the flash point at the core of the flames and sparks. Perfect coordination!
Ms. Overdose's retouching work and its perfect execution proves that she is an expert on both sides of the lens. She has that ability to see the finished product while it's in the creative stages - something we all would like to have but few of us do.
Over all - powerful and breathtaking as always. Good work!
This is my favorite of this series. Somehow I missed "Favoriting" this the first time around, but after seeing it in a thumbnail on your newest DA release on this series I had to come back to this and do the deed. You're gorgeous!
Ok, this is a weird one, and don't get me wrong, out of the three photos I like this one the best, but do the eyes seem slightly cross-eyed anyone? I zoomed in and she is not cross-eyed, but I think rather it is an affect of the heavy lash treatment on the outside of the eyes. Missing a counter balance perhaps?

Easily 10 out 10.
