in my hearts basement 01

This is iconic..

Even being on the set while this was being created, the image still jumps out at me with the impact of a freight train. There is a story involved with the entire series of course, but this single image tells a complete one all by itself.

Lighting on the main model is perfect, as his her pose, creating a timid, yet inappropriate feel to her. The second model, in my opinion is very slightly off.. he seems.. more apprehensive and timid.. but perhaps he is.

The single, and only criticism I fan find with this image.. and I do not entirely know why I feel this way.. is that the set looks too 'clean'. This is bizzare, considering that there is nothing clean about the set at all.. but for some reason, that is what I get. It dosnt seem to carry the age it should.. the walls seem too uniform under the plants.. the floor seems designed opposed to stained. Obviously, this is very knit-picky, and hardly detracts from the image, but to me it is like a itch I just cant reach. Perhaps some additional debris or dirt on the floor would have helped, or 'griming' up the walls prior to the vines a bit.. minor things... probably invisible from a distance. It is a phenomenally gorgeous set... but it seems like phenomenally gorgeous set.. if that makes sense.

Still, awesome image series, and the minor issue does not kill the image at all.
