Thanks Trevor. I couldn't believe nobody took offense at this image. I
was expecting a tirade... It's all about exactly what you saw in the
image... and it was made exactly for an audience like you. It's
artificial. It's gratuitous. It's "Tarty". It's trashy - it's about
things I've seen in church. I chose the church for its austerity puritan
visual associations. I chose the girl for what she looked like in a
tight dress. The original color of the dress was black and it was quite
a business getting it red! And, yes, I backlit the skirt. I lit the girl
so that she would look/feel somewhat out of place, as girls in
mini-skirts or tight jeans do, in church on most Sunday mornings.
And I was admiring it all :-).
Though I spotted a couple of places not quite done right, I have to say
"good job" on the dress color change.
