Description
This shot is an example o the work I was doing this summer without adequate fill-flash. My ring flash that I relied so heavily on had broken. Then when photonutz generously sent me a new one it was another month before I could replace my worn out rechargeable batteries.I love the subject and the composition but because of my shooting style leaning so heavily on the flash it came out both over and under exposed at the same time. Ugh! I wasted my of my summer shooting time this year dealing with this.

Hey! I didn't think we were supposed to publish porn! lol The rules say no penetration, but don't mention species... Haha!!
I'm just giving you grief. Good shot, despite the technical issues. It's funny how certain situations point out our weaknesses and force us out of our comfort zones, but I think you did well.

The exposure issues somehow add to the drama of the subject matter imho.
