Found an old pic of my attempts with The Blonde. Still don't know if this works, my eyes are dumb when it comes to shooting people, I just don't "see" this kind of stuff.

It's an interesting take, Riaan, but maybe one problem with shooting the blonde is that this gal isn't a blonde.

Maybe because her hair was wet at the time it looks unblonde :)

I think if you had used a soft focus technique this image would have worked. She would look mysterious, soft and sensuous.

Thanks John, I had added some "softness" via an Orton layer or two, maybe not enough then.
