Great light and exposure! Made even better with the model. Excellent even without. Love the windows! Big~(v)

Thank you all for the generous comments, deeply appreciated. LOL @ Lydia! As some of you will know, I have no qualms about heavily manipulating images in post (that's putting it mildly, eh?). This image is mostly as shot. I had visited the location prior to the shoot and knew the upper windows were green. The light in the abandoned factory was amazingly gorgeous. The model (who did a wonderful job with the pose) is lit with a green gel over a Canon flash unit off to the left. The rays of light are based on the actual window light but were created/enhanced during post processing. -Michael

And here I was thinking that this challenge might still be wide open. No longer the case, I am afraid. Some seriously deep thinking will be required to beat this. Wow, Michael! Compliments and regards Nico
