On Top Of The World

A recent graduate stands atop the Hancock Tower, with her friend, to celebrate, queen of all she surveys. :)

I enjoyed this candid shot from our evening at the Hancock Tower, Chicago, IL. Another Chicagoland shot, but I am not seeing anything else half as interesting right now, that's for sure. I may have finished processing these shots, finally.

Thanks for your kindness towards my birch trees of yesterday... much appreciated. Thanks, too, for taking time to stop by.

I like that you also have the flags above -- it adds to the celebratory feel (and I'm consistently intrigued by seeing you post a photo framed almost exactly as I had framed mine).

[Rosie Kerr]

@taffy :) Great minds??? Or, maybe, just similarly confused.

[Kathy]

I like that you took advantage of being at the right place at the right time. This is such a special shot. Too bad you don't know the people in the shot so you could share it with them.

[Rosie Kerr]

@randystreat I agree... they scampered off, but it was fun to see them.

[Taffy]

@rosiekerr Let's go with the great minds!

[Pam Knowler]

Love the flags in your shot! Such fun to watch this!

[Danette Thompson]

Very clever shot.

[KWind]

Fabulous! Love the flags and grad. Did you do the tilt??? We did!

[Rosie Kerr]

@kwind I am a huge "heights" chicken, but my hubby did! :)

[gloria jones]

Great capture, framing

[Ukandie!]

@taffy @rosiekerr A lesson learned for me, I think I was so concerned with getting a silhouette that I did not even notice the flags, nicely seen!

[HelenM]

Has an old-time movie feel to it as well as a celebratory one. I like it a lot

[Marnie]

This is such a feel-good shot Rosie, I like it a lot. Waddya mean 'tilt'??

[Photo Bird]

Great shot, well framed and I like the fact that you've got the graduate's face turned to the side and it looks like she is smiling.

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful capture and silhouettes. She is really enjoying the moment.

[Joan Robillard]

The only thing that would have made it better if it was someone you knew. But really neat shot.

[Bill Fenske]

great capture of a very happy young lady

[Rosie Kerr]

@golftragic You stand in that window, hold on to the bars, and let the window "tilt" you out, over the street, to 30 degrees... you are looking down, 97 floors, to the street below. Argh!

[Karen Mitchell]

Oh yes, excellent shot, so much to like here!

[Shari]

Fabulous candid shot. Fun!

[Martina]

Fantastic shot. Fav

[Dawn]

Taking a leap into the next phase of their lives. Nice composition

[tommykeith]

Very nice capture!

[Lynda]

What great timing. The silhouettes against the skyline is lovely.

[Dyan Stevens]

Neat shot. Love her silhouette.

[Lisa Poland]

Love this!
