I really appreciate that picture, Bruce. Thank you for showing it to us.
Check out more shots from my Dorrie studio session on my Tumblr, Bill.

Looking at that set, Tatters #2 is easily the best. If nothing else
from that day turned out, it still would have been a successful shoot.
I think that off shoulder might be the second best, but as I mentioned
elsewhere, I think that it needs to be printed to work at it's best. The
subtle difference between stockings and background just doesn't come
through quite as well on the screen.
Compact is my third favorite, though it's a close call between that and
the other nude. Now that I think of it, all three black and white would
be improved by a proper job of printing.
The others are nice, and in isolation are nothing to be ashamed of, but
I think that they're rather eclipsed by the ones mentioned above.
As I've said, there is something about the shadows between her legs in
stretched tank that bothers me in the way that the dark area draws my
eye. If you were to crop the bottom off just above her left thumb, I
think that would improve the shot dramatically.
There is a lot that I love about Cabaret, but I find that the bullseye
pattern in the background is just too distracting. A simple circle, or
better yet one that fades off to the edges would be much better.
You have the enviable problem that your best photos from this set are so
excellent, that the photos that are merely very good are left in the dust.
One is NSFW, but I believe you're retired? :)
