Like the stop action in this one alot. Have you tried it in B&W? He gets a little lost in the sky in color - not sure if B&W will change that, but it may be worth a shot!

The sky does not look natural

my only wish is that he were separated from the background a bit more...but still a wonderful shot

Good action, but it's a bit flat overall.

Awesome capture. A little too blueish for me. Maybe a different filter or the background blurrier, but then again this was basic editing, not much one could do.

Did he land it? I love that you are left wondering.

Nice midair catch. Watch your JPEG compression when you save. Your filesize is only 54k and there are some noticeable compression artifacts around edges, especially in the sky around his right arm. White balance may be a touch on the cool side.

I am soooo sorry! I accidentally just gave your photo a rating of 1 and didn't mean to! I just sent an email to admin to see how to remove it from your photo... Sorry! For now, I'm giving it another high vote to counteract the last one hopefully!

Great concept. Too busy. Can't readily separate the subject from the background.

A great catch and quite sharp. Too bad about the busy background. A lower point of view would have place the jumper against the blue sky, which would have had more impact IMO.

I wish the dof were different, the trees are just sharp enough to be really distracting to me.

Wow. If only the background wasn't so busy, this would be a sensational shot.

Weird color balance. Too much cyan. Would be better with less DOF.
