Yes, that is Seattle in the background. You can see the Needle. Anyhow, I did this to practice some new effects in Photoshop that I learned -- it's has to do with lens flares as brushes.
The picture was rendered out of DAZ 3D DAZ Studio 4 Pro using USS settings on the skin. The effects were postworked in Photoshop CS5.
Very nice job, buddy! Washington (Tacoma) is actually where I was born and lived in, and surrounding areas. Been in the Space Needle a couple times, freakin' awesome!
( you're welcome, sir )
