The muscular strain in this pose, along with the juxtaposition of soft body and hard rocks makes this image work. Tension in the body is mirrored by the dangerous ground, the weight all on the left calf to keep from sliding down the loose soil. Look at the left shin and foot, drama indeed. The model seems to be arching out and away from the sharp rock, as if to avoid pain.

The face, straining toward the light away from the dark base of the image gives a feeling of trying to escape from strife to enlightenment.

In this and the previous image, what would be the effect of a languid and relaxed pose?
