Couple volunteers carry out an experimentation to validate Marry

Poppin's mode of tranportation theory. Does it work for you?

What's your best hang time?

Wilson, that's a very original shot, for sure!

 

I like the way the kid is effectively in mid-air and how the farthest elements (hands. umbrealla, crease on the shirt) are frozen byt the feet give still a feeling of motion.

 

The composition with all main elements connected to each other along a diagonal is pleasent, although I might have liked more separation between the flying foot and the black sector of the umbrella.

 

I like a lot the way the top kid umbrella matches with the red of his trousers, and the black/white one is also matched with his owner... moreover the strong colour being airborne and the B&W being still gives also a pleasent impression. The reversely-coloured shot would have been possibly less impressive.

Original image, yes. I love the composition and colors. The only part that bothers me is the bottom of the shoes...they keep demanding my attention. I don't know what else you could have done to make them less so...maybe if the shoes were darker with treads, they wouldn't be so in your face. Of course that could be your intention...was it?

Great timing and smashing colour which suits the subject well. (The film 'Mary Poppins' is famous in UK for the World's worst attempt at an English accent by Dick van Dyke!)

I have two thoughts competing for first place here. (1) Did you get hit or landed upon? (2) Heck of a lot of fun you must have when hanging out with your kids. :-) GREAT shot!!
