I definitely see the quirkiness of the picture and actually think it adds to the message.
It might even play really well as a series having multiple Crops of the image kinda "zooming out" from a Headshot to a "Venus of miles"-like crop, then include the other two and finally the full image revealing the strange circumstances.

Only have three things that don't fully do it for me: 1) the seagull 2) the tattoo on her ankle and 3) the different background-cloth underneath the center model, I'd have prefered the same brown there.
Still easily a 3-4 for me.

quirky but the bird ruins it. Is that the length of her hair or did you extend it in PS?

I love the bird so the bird stays! LOL

Ok, I love the discussion going on here. Obviously I don't agree at all with Yavor with his interpretation of the image.

I think Yavor has looked at the image but hasn't actually 'seen' the image.

So, let me explain the concept.

The Birth Of Venus By Greg Desiatov

I'm a fashion photographer in Australia and every day of my life I see a 'Venus' being created.

We start off with a blank canvas and in this case it's represented with a nude model. We then go through the process of 'birth' where she has her hair and makeup done and then she is clothed by the designer for the final transformation.

Using the painting by Sandro Botticelli was an obvious inspiration for this process.
