| Nice capture, seems a little red, but that could be the hues from the rocks reflecting on the man, all around good shot, 7. |

| Nice take on the theme. I think that a reduction with the red saturation would've helped. |

| haha I love how you can't see any water so it gives the feeling that he is either going to fall and hurt himself or fly, nice shot. the people in the background are distracting to me though it would have been nice to see a shallower depth of field |

| This is a good picture but there are many things that could have been different that would have moved this into the above average and possibly even stellar category. First off this is a good action shot of a figurative 'temporary flight'. But it could be better. His hands which are simularly posed to the classic superhero flight pose obscures the bottom half of his face and whatever expression he may have on his mouth. Facial expression is important in capturing and showing emotion to the viewer because we can then see, relate, and appreciate the moment captured. Next, there are too many other 'subjects' in the photo that detract from your main focus - which is the free flight diver. The other people in the shot detract the eye from your main focus and gives this a feel of a snapshot - which is not what you want. A lower angle looking up at this free flight diver would be better because at a lower angle you would not get the other people in the shot and depending on the angle you might even get some blue sky into the shot which would greatly strengthen the idea of him flying in the air. Here there is just a bit too much of the mountains in the backdrop that it adds to the subtle idea of being firmly grounded instead of a free flight. Depending on how enterprising one is (and if there is water at the bottom - which is a bane to the camera), you might have wanted to take the opportunity to take the shot from far below the diver looking up such that you are at a 45 degree angle looking up at this man taking a free flight dive with the sky as his backdrop. Depending on the shutter speed and aperature (and possible use of fill in flash) you could either end up with a silhouette of a diver on a blue sky or the diver with an interesting facial expression on a blue sky. Also if your model is open to the suggestion and willing to work with you, you might have asked him to spread his hands out either at a 45 degree angle or straight out like an airplane so that they become his 'figurative' wings in the dive. |
