The posing is on point, and I love that her movements are implied while the focus remains on her face. There is something to be said for less is more, and this photo is the embodiment of that message. You are teasing the viewer with the tiny details \u2014 you can\u2019t see everything she\u2019s wearing, but you know it\u2019s sexy. You can\u2019t see what her hands are doing, but you know they are somewhere naughty. But, if you pay attention, her face gives it all away and more. It is intriguing, and drew me in right away. Well done!”<\/p>\n Sam Guillermo | NKDHMNS<\/p><\/div>\n 1st runner up goes to Sam Guillermo of NKDHMNS<\/a> based in Baltimore.\u00a0<\/p>\n Valerie selected this image as 2nd place because “Lighting, lighting, lighting!!! You can literally feel the warmth in this image, and it makes you want to crawl right in bed with her and spend the afternoon. The posing is fantastic, and shows just enough of the model to keep the viewer engaged and wanting more. The touch to the lips is everything\u2026 a tiny tease with a BIG impact. Well done! “<\/p>\n Toni Varone | Toni V BoudoirToni Varone Photography<\/p><\/div>\n 2nd runner up goes to Toni Varone of Toni V BoudoirToni Varone Photography<\/a> based in Pasadena, California.<\/p>\n Valerie’s thoughts on this image “I love the clean, bright edit on this.
