 I was up in the mountains bumming around with my daughter when a paraglider dropped down on the roadway beside us. Stopped and looked up to see another one was due in a short while. We waited around and I was able to photgraph this guy coming in for a landing. Unfortunately, I had the camera set to f32 because he was coming in with the sun directly behand him. As a result, the focus is slightly off athough I'm not too concerned since I think its a pretty cool effect anyhow. Hope y'all enjoy!

Great title. I love the vibrancy of the colors. Great DOF and different. This is really a fun shot to look upon. I like the lighting hitting him from the back. The movement of it is interesting and not overdone.
