Back poses can present a challenge in that they can lack any area of interest oftentimes. I was lucky in this 40 minute pose to have something visually to hook on to; the model's scapula bones. She put her hands atop her head and all the torsion and tension related to the muscles that articulate with the scapula bones just popped right out.
Most models don't exhibit this kind of bravado for longer poses - as it's easy to imagine the strain after a short time. So this was a really rare opportunity to witness this region in prolonged action.
