 Taken at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago IL last month. Taylor was standing in some fog coming down that had a blue light shining on it, and I asked her to reach up with both arms. I had to submit something for the blue challenge last month because this one had a light I didn't see during shooting.

I'm not sure which of the two I like better.....the other one is more subtle, but this is a bit more expressive.

Very cool shot. It reminds me of this shot I took of my son at the Chicago Children's museum.

Looks almost like water falling over her. Lovely capture, especially with the lighting situation. You did a bang up job!

Oh that's really interesting. Like he's trying out Superman's flying powers. Love the rich blue.

Very ghostly Ken - looks like she's disappearing into the mist.

Very nice find. That was a good idea about having her position with arms up into the fog like that for this shot.
