This one was a lot of fun to do, because there's so much you can do with the composition. If you look at my work, you'll see I like circles and motion.
Kathryn likes acting and going to those fancy masquerades, so I can often find something unusual to get her to pose in. I put a white feather hanging down over the hat so that it could tie in the figure and the hat. It seemed to work. I debated a lot about the hands. I wanted them there, yet I didn't want them too noticeable so that the circular motion was broken up. I ended up putting gloves on her - which I'm happy with.
