This is a great photo but the emotions in it confuse me. Her pose suggests arousal but the look on her face is a look of someone that is near tears. It looks like she has just cried or is about to and her lip even looks a bit quiverish.

I agree with MAC, there's a certain desperation in her eyes/face.

Thanks for the comments folks, I agree about the mixed messages though, was not intentional during the shoot.

Zee.......... I know, good innit?

When I look at this I feel like the subject feels like she is being forced to expose herself to the camera. I also immediately feel that the blur was done in post vs in camera. I could be way off, especially since the lighting is executed very well with nice catchlights and no huge shadows.

Hi Carl

The blur is camera, lighting a single speed light 'n' Stofen shot at 2.2 on a 85mm, 1/100 @ ISO 640 / EOS 5D, the 'metallic' feel is all from PS though......

Forced, kinda feel that too, almost 'sex slave' to my mind....... not intentional, not sure I noticed before either........ but I'm nice to my models, honest..... :-)
