French hot summer, sheltered in a river bed.
At this time, I was spending time in the French deep countryside, in a little village with 150 souls and 3000 sheep. No way to find models around there.
I was casually checking facebook and related photography groups when I found a few strangely familiar pictures. Ahem.. I know that place, where it's been shot. This is ...my village!! Who's that model?? Let's send her a little message.
Yeah, I managed to find the only model you could get in a 100km radius and she was living just next door, spending a bit of time at her grandmother's. We met, connected, then arranged a shooting (3 actually), and this gave birth to that image. A good thing about the countryside is that there is no shortage of natural space and props.

Very nice, so much to like, the reflection in the water, how she has just let go of the material, the lighting

As before in my last comment beautiful, maybe title should be 'Lady of the Lake'. But excellent shot mate thanks for sharing.

I always struggle finding the right titles for my images. But I think we're getting somewhere with your suggestion, thanks!

Absolutely stunning! Perfect composition. The reflections and the flow bring an ethereal quality and the glow from the lamp is a perfect counter balance. Dreamy, soft, inviting. I wonder if it might be better to lose the reflection of the lamp in the water. I find my eye wandering to it and I am not sure it adds to the picture. But then again, it leads my eye back around to her leg and up again to her face.
