A New day, a new beginning

Okay, here it is, the best you've done so far, by far. You've done some really great work in this thread but that is where the art and the technical part really swing. Beautiful with the light, the lady, the theme, all of it. Nice.

Thank you, I'm a bit lost for words. I haven't really been looking for "best", it is more a case of finding "better" and keep pushing in that direction until I can't seem to go any further, then go back and build in a different direction. Sometimes you get one like that that prompts you to explore a bit more. In this case it was the lighting, that look of the "golden hour" that photographers refer to. I've been a bit further down that path today (and with the "blue hour"), though with a more basic subject look and minimal clothing!

Back to basics, I like it! The Indian lady with the yellow outfit was cool too. Don't know how she's going to fight her way out of that

Ah, another vote for the Indian ladies. Seeing as they are popular maybe a few more are called for, I did have a bit of trouble narrowing it down to those two.

Nice! Still, I'd like to see her fight her way out of that (she stabs the quicksand, and in retaliation, it sucks her deeper )

Ah well, in my images unless they are villainesses they always get out. I'm a bit of a sucker for a happy ending. Of course, sometimes I like to leave matters in doubt as a bit of a tease and to allow people to choose their own endings.

I think Jumpoff Joe is doing a screen test for potential candidates. A number of girls have been invited to a convenient bog and instructed to bring pink/blue spandex. Will any of the candidates be successful, for that matter, will any of them survive? One thing we can guarantee, they are all going to get muddy!

You do a lot of dramatic lighting and I really like that. That's going to be another element to this that we rarely experienced before. Very cool.

Well, the dramatic lighting comes a lot from my photography habits. Mostly I did landscape photography and tended to get up early to catch the sunrise of be out late for the sunsets quite a lot. That's when the lighting is at its best for me, the so called "golden hours" (the period after sunrise and before sunset) and "blue hours" (the periods just before sunrise and after sunset). I'm still going for those effects here with the AIs quite a lot, mainly because I like the effects.

The "weird shit" continues. Strange as it may seem, this set started out as a "Catwoman" set and look where it ended!

Michelle was beginning to get a bit concerned. Due to the wet mud, the straps tying her hands to her thighs had started to tighten. She hadn’t been able to see what the heavy looking object that had been placed on the surface behind her had been, but she was conscious that it had been attached to the end of the ropes binding her. Now it had disappeared beneath the surface of the mud and she was aware that it was gradually drawing down the coils of slack rope. “God” she thought feeling a sudden chill, “I hope it stops sinking soon or it’ll start pulling me down as well!” She looked towards her companion, safe on the large plywood board, he was concentrating on the viewfinder of his camera. She began to wonder whether this had been a good idea and whether he could be trusted. Deciding she was no longer comfortable with the situation, she uttered the, now ominous seeming, safe word.

“Blub”, she said. The cameraman ignored her. Starting to panic she repeated the safe word several times.

“Blub! Blub! Blub!” The cameraman raised his head from the viewfinder and spoke.

“Not yet!”

Hey! You looking a my ass, pervert.

Is this messy enough or do you think I can get ever messier?

She was struggling to keep her head up out of the mud as the weight on the rope pulled her inexorably downwards. Little hope remained but she had to keep trying.

Movement was pretty much impossible, there was no way she could stop that bug crawling into her cleavage!
