The most talked about, top voted image of the month! It's an object lesson in using models professionally. Deceptively simple - how would you get the cards to stick to the table? Hide the reg's? direct the action? Top Notch Frank!

just look at that old US divers mask. You can't get them any more but they were the classic mask for photography. Add a beautiful model, foreground interest, tilt the head. This shot was not an accident!
