A gorgeous model, an unusual position, a simple shibari partial self-suspension, excellent lighting profiling the model and splash of water combine to make this a visually appealing image.  This is an good example of how the contrast of rope with the soft lines and texture of a beautiful model can help to make a beautiful photograph.
 
The Art of Contemporary Shibari Exhibit at the Fotofest 2012 Biennial will feature works by exceptional shibari riggers and photographers from around the world as well as the United States.

A print of this beautiful image is one of several that will be displayed and offered for sale by the talented shibari artist and photographer, Chi Lum, from San Francisco, California.
