I want to fly

Comments welcome, thank You

And how did you convince him to take off, Alix? Very nice and I love the bird visible below the flying man. Must be giggling:-)

Just the right moment. I like that similitude with the background bird. Very impressive shot.

Great timing! The focus is good too and the background gives a great sense of space. Were you standing when you took this? A lower point of view would increase the sense of the height of the jump which would mean the photographer crouching down. Now always easy for us more 'mature' people - especially if we have to move quickly! I like the off-centre placing of the subject. And the bird - I do like to see a bird or two in a photo!

Alix,this is a fantastic capture. Very good composition,exposure, light and DOF. I also like that bird.

So good to get Your Response.Paula,I walked with my husband up this steep hill,where I made pictures.There where two couples doing the jumping.I asked if I can join with my camara, they where happy, and even more,that I could email their picture.That is the way I get my models lately.Colin,thanks for Your advice, I did have a tripod,the lower set,but I could have go down more, even it is hard at old age. And ,I also like Your approval,that I took it of center.I learned that from previous discussion. I am very thankful, You help me so much. Alix

Fly, he did, like the bird there. Nice action shot, Alix.

great capture. the bird bg tops it off.

Funny and original Alix, He is higher than the bird and lackes only wings...Well Done. Pnina

Great concept and excecution, Alix. We all had that ambition once. Now I prefer to invite the birds for a coffee instead... (n'est-ce pas Colin?)

Superb capture, Alix. Good idea with excellent outcome.

Cherlyn,,Klaus, Pnina, Manolis and David. Thanks for Your comments and rates (looks good )that was fun.

Wow!, Alix.

 

A bird and a human factor.Excellent!

I liked that! I would originally say 'a human with a bird factor' but you are right: this is rather a photograph about birds (with a human factor).

I'm glad you made a comment about that,Manolis.

My thinking was ,since a man could not fly,

really,so the credit should be to that bird.

 

My dear Alix, this was really great. I got to

smile when I saw this. You made me happy...

And thanks again.By the way,the view is part of that "Hills" right?

 

Kind regards to your dearest,too.sally

 

Seeing the man as he sails safely above the ground and his form against the horizon. Then the bird glides effortlessly into the open space, makes this an unforgettable photograph.

Alix, there are certain shots which stay in the memory and this for me is one. This is so original combining the jump and the landscape (and the bird) - it really stands out. So I have come back and changed my original rating from 6/6 to 7/7. regards - Colin

Colin, I am touched,how You react,thanks for the upgrade,but even more what a wonderful way that thru photographs such a mutual understanding developes. Alix

Alexandra this is a neat picture too, its kind of neat that you got the bird flying under the man also. Well Done. :o)
