Thank you much Photobug! PitchBlack is a pretty cool guy, knows what he wants. Ilvy Kokomo is in a league of her own. She knows how to bring a photo to life and create a story - doesn't just stand there and expect magic to happen.
A little backstory - this was shot on a private pier where multi-millionaires & billionaires docked their million dollar yachts. Honestly, we weren't supposed to be there, but we walked out there with purpose. Deck hands dropped jaws and didn't say a word. We shot for as long as we needed to. Joe Mcnally: "your gear" {and a hot model} "is your passport."
Just purchased a laser light and got outside a week ago before the snow and cold weather hit the Midwest. Now that I have seen the results of 6 photos of the laser display, I need to experiment some more. This was in motion and I would like to try stationary next.

I will definitely agree with that Rx4Photo. This picture below is a case in point. Below I have pasted my writeup in the photo's comments:
Taken in the ancient Chinese imperial capital of Xian, there are literally thousands of these warriors, each one with a different face, in multiple pits that have been excavated. More can be learned here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terracotta_Army. I was very lucky to get this shot. There was a large viewing area for the public far in the back, but a wide ledge right next to the warriors that was closed off. I walked up to a security guard and asked if I could go on the ledge. He asked, "Are you from National Geographic?" I had a bag full of lens and my D800 with the battery grip, so I must have looked like a professional. I answered, "I am not from National Geographic, but I want to be." I suppose his English was not so good because he held the door open for me. Needless to say, I knew better than to correct his English and spent half an our on that ledge shooting every angle I could with every lens in my bag.
