One very exceptional image/Edit...I find the added light rays (top right) a little distracting to the overall piece but nonetheless, superb!....Well done and congrats!.....Brian

Without the light rays I would have liked the picture very much. I think they are distracting. Where should the come from naturally?
Kind regards Ralf

Location
This was shot in my Studio/Garage.Time
1pmLighting
The background I chose for this image all the lights were coming from camera left. So I set up my Alien bees to reflect that on to her.Equipment
Canon 7D 24-105mm L series lens Alien Bee Einstein and a 22" Beauty dish and a Alien Bee B800 for the edge lighting.Inspiration
The actual background I found on a stock photo website and that same day I seen on FB my friend wearing her wet suit so i thought what a perfect match.Editing
I combine the subject with the background in photoshop.In my camera bag
Canon 7D 24-105mm L Series lens,85 !.4 Sigma lens, 70-200mm f2.8 L Series lens. Alien Bees B800 and Einsteins Canon 580EX Speedlight.Feedback
My best advice is plan ahead of time. If you know the lighting in the background you have to replicate that on your subject. To make a convincing composite there are four things that matters Lights,sharpness, coloring and atmosphere.
