Thanks All, for the very kind comments.

The distracting tubing is a wrapped tube light around the pillar; the old barn in question is used for night parties and this is part of the lighting. It was stapled above where I could reach and I didn’t bring a ladder. I travel quite light when I’m either shooting a specific model commission or practicing for my traveling boudoir portraiture commissions; sometimes the two of us (photographer & model) can’t get around a particular challenge... but this is rare. 😉

The tubing was the main reason this portrait didn’t make the final series. Because I specialize in Natural Light & Natural Beauty, I decided not to fix this problem with some “architectural post-processing”.

Thanks again to those who appreciate the collaborative work in this shot; I will look through the other “nearly” shots and find one or two more to post.
