This was a last minute entry. Originally I wanted something much more detailed, but it was 9pm on the night of the challenge.

This was shot at a half second exposure in the dark with my wife (the model) holding the flash in her right hand above her head pointing down.

Brought in B&W from RAw and darkened and slightly blurred background, lightened skin and darkened jacket. Ran through Film Effects for grain and curves layer to raise black level to not be pitch black.

started at a 4.6 with 3 votes and now it's at a 6. I hope it holds!

6.3 w 180 votes and 16 comments, not bad for a last minute shot.
the title is supposed to be an indication that she is your end, so it is a femme fatale.

Excellent image. Alluring and sexy. The desire to see more of her face offset by feeling that I am looking down her blouse more than I really should. Perfect.

What a pleasure to see someone with the sensibility to use such a perfect model but also the sensibility to use light so daringly and even include lens flare.

I'm hanging you in the Galerie Noire

Astounding how this is reduced to charcoal tones and peeling shapes... Tres magnifique.

This is much more glamor than noir, but it's a gorgeous image.

Nice use of lighting, though the lens flare locations are a bit distracting. This definitely has a film noir feel.

I really like this image; the processing is great.

This not only has the mood but the art deco style of the early noirish era. Soo bad the aspect ration isn't very cinematic but ok as a poster.. maybe. 7
