This sugarcube metropolis extends my previous comments about making the photo about something more than just a lucky snap of a model’s incredible flexibility.
Here, as in the other photo, the viewer’s subconscious is aware of the necessary duration of the pose. Even if you’re not consciously thinking about that, your subconscious recognizes that she’s already been here a while, as the sugar cubes were stacked, and the details of the lighting and composition were worked out.
In my opinion, it is going those extra steps beyond the first lucky snap that are what makes an exceptional photo.
