 Look at the image and listen to "Heaven out of Hell" by Emilia. Or, "Fly away" by Lenny Krevitz. Both work :)

Thanks to my sister Carmen, who was my model once again.

The timespan between the initial idea and this image was about 3 minutes. I've never been that fast :) Lucky me, five minutes later the sky was 'luxembourg-grey' again.

Post Processing in PSP8:
Crop
Cloning (sensor dust, blown out highlight)
Curves (S curve on 'general', bump on 'blue')
Curves (selective, to darken the lower left)
Resize
USM (0,50/75/4)

I tried to burn the sunray/shadow play in the upper left, but it didn't work very well, so I let it be.

Neat silhouette. I like the off-centered composition and good sky too.
