"There She Goes Again"

Prima Ballerina Teagan Lowe of Opera Australia and the Sydney Dance Company doing her thing, posing with strong shadows cast.

Very simple in it's effect, I worked hard to achieve good anatomical mastery of the proportions of the figure to try and do justice to Teagan Lowe's incredible figure.
