I must confess, I started out just copying the idea of the attached 
image, from a one-or-two-second shot in the last episode of the anime 
Paradise Kiss...I rather liked the idea of just the shadow, as it's very 
sexy and sensual...

Doing just the shadow of a Poser figure also has a significant 
advantage: it allows you to ignore all the flaws that are visible if you 
directly look at the mesh.

Since I just did a shadow-themed image, I re-used the scene 
(er...background and sphere-with-image-for-radiosity's-sake, at least), 
but it felt too plain...I decided to add some pictures on the wall to 
give it variety...but I'm ever one for subtlety and significance, even 
if it's not so subtle when you think about it, so I was wandering my 
image collection looking for something that both looked nice and was 
relevant, hence Waterhouse's 'Pandora' and Demotivators' 'Mistakes' (I 
could have used 'Dysfunction', but that, I dunno, seems harsh in the 
context of the rest of the image).  Finally, I added some subdued red 
spotlights to augment things a bit.
