This one should definitely be at least a finalist if not the winner. Great capture, superb light and comp. The piano is the perfect accessory to emphasize the seduction. Genius and bravo! (Voted)

Location
The photo was taken in my living room. That is my wife on the piano chair.Time
I don't remember the exact time, but it was dark. I prefer night for studio type photos as that keeps me in control of the light.Lighting
Nothing really special, just a Hensel 500 ws flash and a 30 x 150 cm stripbox . I wanted a pretty sharp cut off, so I used a large piece of black foam core just to the right of the photo.Equipment
This I had to look up! I was using a Canon 1D MKIII with a Canon EF24-70 f2.8L lens. I already mentioned the lighting setupInspiration
I had been experimenting with using shadows to add mystery and interest to photos and I wanted something romantic using the piano in the pic.Editing
Not much really, I converted it to B&W in photoshop and did a bit of perspective and perspective correction in Lightroom.In my camera bag
That really depends on the day. I've always got one of my Canons unless I am using my view camera. Lenses will vary from the big 500mm to the tilt shift lens. My favorite lens is the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM. For what I do when walking around, I find so many uses for that lens.Feedback
Well, tough question, but I have said it before and I will say it again. Visualize. Think about what you are trying to say/show in the final photo and them work towards that.
