Mono Print Winner - Portrait of a Dancer by Gillian Temple

The Ballet Dancer photo was taken in an old house with a large wooden kitchen table.  I asked her to lie on the table and pose for the shot.  The lighting was natural light coming from a window and later in post processing I added a texture to the background wall.
