Andy, it is VERY hard to hold them still for 4 seconds. I'm glad you asked about the big mystery. Here it is..... what is the theme of this challenge? Long. These legs are loooong, hence all my entries are of my long legs. The tilt and the toning and such are all just to look cheap. Just the way I wanted to present the topic. Since it's all about legs in the air, I wanted to cheapen the whole scene as well. You know the old joke.... 'what 2 things in the air can get a girl pregnant? Her legs!'. LOL!

Lonnit; your images, in my brief experience, usually convey something beyond the obvious. Im thinking out loud here but it must be bloody hard to hold your legs still for 4secs. Is that was this is about? Self control? Compositionally, I find it hard to like this image. Angles, bits of furniture THAT table lamp. I just know I must be missing something here.

The shadowing technique is called 'burning in the corners'. LOL! The room is all atumble. You're concerned about the room being tilted but you give no concern to why this woman's legs are upside down? LOL! Now THAT's funny! :) ~ Lonnit

I like this image Lonnit. I'm very interested in your shadowing technique.

(*)I'm a bit uneasy with the downward shift towards the right. What are your thoughts behind this?
