I like your work, Steve, and have chosen this image to comment on. I am very interested in composition, rather than perfect body parts per se, (but then, I'm older:)) so this appeals to me as a graphic image, a design. More than one photographer has said that the rules of photography are three: composition, composition, composition.

Location
The photo was taken just outside Milton Keynes in the UK, a friend has about 20 acres of land that he is developing on and I was fortunate to have full access in the early stages of the development. At this point there was only one structure which was a huge industrial barn/warehouse and I thought it would be fun to have the model, Sarah, rollerblading naked. While it seemed a good idea at the time, None of the 300+ shots actually captured what I was aiming for. This shot came right at the end with Sarah tilting her head back with me shooting from behind.Time
This was early on in the shoot so probably about lunchtime. The rest of the shoot was shot outside throughout the rest of the day out in the fields (the other hay shots on my images) and using some of the construction equipment there (part of the 'Bucket List' series in my images)Lighting
The structure was huge with really high ceiling which was very well lit. I did use a Sony HVL-F60M Flash to get the extra lighting I needed.Equipment

I'd wanted to shoot at this location for sometime and Sarah and I had been talking over ideas for a while. I Didn't really know what was going to great me at the location so it was a great surprise to find so many interesting props to work with. I usually go into a shoot with a general idea of what I want to achieve and the ideas seem to flow from there. I'd say the biggest inspiration for this shot is the female form and symmetryEditing
I used PhotoShop to mirror the image (left side is mirrored) and add colour and sparkle to the eyes.In my camera bag

Just be open to mindset that anything is possible and don't limit yourself to what you think you want to shoot, adapt to your surroundings, build a great rapport with your model and have fun!
