In an effort to help curb the different threads that crop up from time to time about photographic cliche's I decided to do a shoot with all the major ones in one photograph!
THE LIST:
Caution Tape
Angel Wings
Mermaid Costume
Guitar
Gun
Gas Mask
Cowboy Hat
American Flag
Topless
Electrical Tape Pasties
You forgot to add an obvious post-production element (such as a cheesy background or elimination of an obvious prop such as a table the model would be leaning against so she now appears to be levitating in air). It would also benefit from a hand bra, and handprints from paint across the breasts.
But a superb first effort. I'm looking forward to the HDR version.

Oh yeah, the hand bra! Tough to do with the flag and the sub machine gun but she assured me she was making duck lips in the gas mask (yes, we actually did joke about that).
Every three months I batch register all my images with the US Copyright Office so at the end of March, this will be one of them. Yes, this photograph will actually be registered Copyright 2013 at the US Copyright Office.

The extreme saturation, the blue rocks, and the halos around the muzzle and magazine of the gun, and the top left of the flag - I'd say the post production was "well done", (for those who doubt it) !

...on railroad tracks!
How about adding some of these:
-you didn't allow an escort
-couldn't have done this shot with a non-professional camera body
-you "did it right in camera" by shooting JPEG
-it has a 3-D quality from shooting medium format
-the experience of process + printing was practically holy because you used film
But she's not sitting on the toilet with her panties around her ankles ~ that's the one i hate the most, and the dead fish drapped over their head ~ clever concept, nicely worked.
Haha, pretty awesome!
But yeah, you missed the hand bra. And she's not falling off a furniture, upside down, resting on the back of her shoulders with her hips in the air.

LOL...I wasn't sure if I could put Sarah's name in the forum post as that might be considered "outing". I just didn't want to get in any trouble for posting her name but now that she's here, nobody could have pulled this photo off better...she's the best model in Vegas, that's for sure!
(and that would have freed up that left hand for the hand bra).
