Subject: [PML1] CC: Ursula Buchfellner

In Ursula Buchfellner's centerfold (October 1979) she has turned from 
considering herself in the mirror to directly considering us.

Here we see that old pin-up cliche, the mirror, used to great advantage. 
With a shot like this you can see why mirrors are such common props. By 
using a full-length mirror it's as if we are looking at identical twins. 
Two Ursulas are a blessing only a fool would quibble with.

Ursula has been very carefully posed, although it doesn't hit us in the 
face. Her left knee in particular gives a strong focus point that draws 
our eyes to Ursula's bottom and the reflection of her stomach, two of 
her strongest features. Her head has also been turned to show off not 
only her sweet face, but her stunning profile as well.

Two things add a great deal of balance to this shot: the way her hair 
forms a small peak at the back of her head offsets her angled leg, and 
the trunk on the floor gives the sense of a pedestal, countering the 
effect of standing on one leg. The colors are exactly the right choice. 
Nothing else would flatter Ursula as well.
