*Very* nice look to this photo, Bill.

I'm just guessing, but it looks like you used a tungsten white balance and hit her with a hard key light filtered with a CTO gel.

Of course, this is a bit weird, because it looks like she's standing on the edge of the roof. Which begs the question, where exactly are you standing?

Are you gonna tell? ;-)

Hi! Wow! Now I know I usually make a snide comment referencing an old 365photo joke about the blue in photos.

However...

THIS one really IS amazing and blue and wonderful! The blue is so crisp and engaging. The depth reminds me of that Marc Chagall window at the Art Institute of Chicago (as seen in Ferris Bueller's Day Off). Or like a Rothko painting...

no jokes.

wow, beautiful. I am particularly fond of your roof portraits.

I really like the shot. The color and lighting are great. It appears to me that you really merged/pasted two shots together.

Phil - Nope it's one exposure..

Richard - You may not know, but I can fly. ;-P

WOW! I kept waiting for a trailer to start b/c it looks like a poster for a movie!!! ;-) It is incredible. I've missed a few weeks but I'm trying to catch up. I tell everyone about your site because you truly are a wonderful photographer. I love to see what you do.

Keep posting!
