 Slack line walker at Royal Gorge. The wind was blowing dangerously hard. I was positioned almost directly above the line and watched with heart in mouth while he walked back and forth and fell time after time. The gorge at that point is about 1000 feet straight down. Base jumping was also going on at the same time.

Used 300 mm IS lens.

neat shot, the background may have more detail that could be brought with a minoe curves adjustment, it's pretty dark

Nice composition - adds even more tension and interest than is already there with the subject!

Not for me. A little off focus, not enough depth of feel to give a "heighth" to the photo, but it still works well for me.
