I really love the wallpaper in the background! That would make a great backdrop for a fashion shoot or luxury lingerie shot. I don't like the way the subjects top bleeds into the black of the aminus page... can you put a border on it to keep me happy (lol) or is the black bleed intentional?

@drphoto: Hi Dan

The bleed was intentional dare I say! Gill was wearing jeans which didn't really fit with the image as I saw it. I decided to lose them altogether as I didn't want to have to put off till another day. But I'm a easy going chap and always prepared to compromise (lol). I popped a border on (I'm not one for borders!) to keep you fellow photographers happy ;-)

I got to say....................I love the wallpaper to. I'd seen it at a bar while it was being re-furbed sometime ago. I asked the question of the bar owner and hey presto! Gill had to stand on a bench to get to the wallpaper (it started a quarter the way up the wall................man, I was gutted when I saw it).

Thanks for the border =D) Now I can see the intentional bleed. Its an interesting shot. I like the way her necklace sort of echo's the wallpaper paterns.
