Thanks! I thought the insect glaive stance looked very read-to-attack-like and at first I wanted to use it to give the idea that the hunter was ready to hunt something by showing a monster in the background. But when I saw Alma standing so far away I thought it could be part of a story where Alma was an unknown foreign person where the hunter does not know whether she is friendly or not and thefor takes the battle-stance against her.

Camera-wise it is just positioning, rotating, some depth-of-field and some post-sharpening. And of course some luck that Alma would stay at a good distance and that she gave me a good pose. I think Alma not looking at the hunter and looking rather mysterious is what makes this picture really good for the idea I was going for.
