Shot in an alley in Victoria. This girl was just walking by and I asked if she'd pose. The light is coming from a window on the other side of the building. Notice the skin, she's a makeup artist lol.

It really is a red brick wall. It's got to be a 100 years old though. There was all kinds of black stuff on it, probably from the cities pollution over the years. Also, the wall isn't really illuminated that much. Most of the light was coming from a small window on the other side, more like a spotlight.

Give it a rest, Shaun. I think everyone heard your rants on the 0.5 and 1.0 votes. Just take it at face value and bask in your victory, instead of sulk at the past.

Ok take the same girl, same location and place 113th! Go figure. Can;t believe all the .5 to 1 votes. I thought it was an amazing image for "are you looking at me" challenge because she would never look directly at the camera, always a little off to one side.
