I really like the photo and the idea, but I would love it with less fence. Crop from left and from the top?

Behind The Lens

Location
In a local park. The model stood the other side of the chain fence of a tennis court enclosure.
Time
Early afternoon, on a weekday when no one was using the court.
Lighting
As the image was going to be in monochrome the lighting was not too imperative.
Equipment
Canon DSLR and a 70-200mm zoom
Inspiration
I had this image in my mind's eye and went out with the sole intention of capturing it.
Editing
I changed the colour image into monochrome and did some dodging and burning to create the dramatic affect.
In my camera bag
If I am just going out to create a single image, I will take only the basic equipment t that i need, In this instance I just took the camera with a single lens.
Feedback
Having an idea of an image before you go to create it saves time, which is particularly important if you need a model, as they will get bored standing around while you are deciding what you want to do.
