Tim at Point Reyes

I can feel the falling!

just wondering what people thought of the composition here. i

considered cropping out the big dark tree on the left, but i think it

throws the balance off. what do you think? ps - i already know the

horizon isn't level.

I agree. Cropping out the large tree would throw it out of balance. I like the trees. It's as if you are looking through a window within the woods. As for the movement of the arms... I like the blur, also. Everything else is so still. The blur shows the action of the jump. The attempt to stay airborne.

I've swung off that rope swing at Bass Lake myself! I thought I recognized it in thethumbnail even before I saw that it was takenat Pt. Reyes.

I like the photo, but knowing that spotand how high above the water it is, I thinkI'd like to have seen it at a wider angle,as a vertical shot, to show where he's goingto hit the water. I'd keep the same width, butdrop the bottom border significantly. Ofcourse in practice this means switching toa wider angle and turning the camera 90 degrees.

Then again, maybe there were people climbingback up from the water that you didn't wantto show.

Anyway, you've inspired me to go back there soon!

The photo displays the best way how to cool down during a hard days work.

 

Lets jump!
