 A wrench was used to reflect a picture of a model that I took at the beach several years ago.

The finished product is highly cropped from the original (couldn't keep my fingers out of the original composition). I had to have the photo very close to the wrench or it would be completely out of the DoF.

Contrast and brightness was bumped up to give the highkey look.

Lighting was a set of halogen work lamps. One pointed at the wrench and photo, the other at the white paper background. White Balance was set to white paper background.

You silly person, why take a photo of that tool when you have a babe in a bikini behind you, I would have given her a 10 automatically :P

Top 10 material, the reflection is awesome. I'm just wondering if it's taken in a studio and that's actually a printed picture or if it's taken on the beach.

Heh... the adolescent in me certainly gets a kick out of the title :) I'm definitely a sucker for babe-in-bikini shots, and I really like the way you pulled it off here! - 9

I like how the reflection is from the beach and the background is studio

ROFL. Pretty darn clever. The crop is a touch tight, but............... imaginative nonetheless.
