Benedicta was a spectacularly photogenic model.

Here's a couple of starters for you ...

Low key x 2 and an in-camera double exposure. :)

Resized for the web only: absolutely no other PP.

Your not wrong on the low key Gary. Really like the 2nd image the most, just that hint of features.

#1 - No, upside down does not work for me

#2 - Too low key plus distraction in the right eye spoils the image IMO

#3 - :!:

It's not upside down.

It's actually how this was shot; Benedicta lying on her back, looking up towards me, at her head. :)

Thanx, Steve; that's what I like about these too: the intensity of them .... with just the hint of the details that's there.

Happy Benidicta

#2 is a very powerful image. Great use of the negative space really focuses the attention on the highlights in the face and those eyes. terrific.
cheers
