I love humorous, erotic puns and this is subtle enough to be published in a conventional, high end fashion magazine like Vogue or W without any apparent controversy! The composition is spot on and I love the small contrasts: the lighthouse, in all its strict color and inanimate rigidity, remains the focus of the image despite the attempts of the living model mimicking beside it to be otherwise. Even the shadow she casts only serves to frame the structure and emphasize that it is the LIGHTHOUSE that is the inspiration here and not the model, who is merely the maquette upon which the impeccably designed wardrobe hands. She can preen and pout all she wants, but she is secondary here. A strict feminist type might applaud the flip of the usual conventions but point out the obvious irony; the masculine trumps all no matter how gussied up the eye candy is. Brilliant!

Great color connections there, and I enjoy the stark contrast between the grass and sky.

Such a strong image, I love the contrast between the matt red of the lighthouse and the sheen on the skirt. I admit to not being an expert on these things, but I am guessing that if a filter had been used the detail of the clouds would have been held and the sky would not have tried to have blended into the white of the lighthouse. Great shot!

The dress and hair go great together! I'd love to have that haircut, if only a third of the length!

Awesome, everything about it is so surreal! I also like the way how you are color aligned with the lighthouse. Red shoes, light skin tone, red dress, again light skin, again red hair and lastly your hand as a white tip of the lighthouse. Exactly the same repeating colors as the ones on lighthouse
Maybe i've noticed this because i wanted it to be this way, but i think it was intentional, wasn't it?
