hehe... very clever. I just wish the shadow was a bit darker and/or was better defined at the outline. Perhaps a single light source would have helped?

Not sure if that's just haze or pollution, but there's something kinda cloudy. perhaps a cloud? anyhoo, neat image probably would've helped here. great shot though. 6

I am new here and relatively so to serious photography; so, I will offer only my response, not a critique.

I like it. It is somewhat diluted by the recent posting of the superb ballooner photo still imprinted on my minds eye. But in its own capacity, the depth and coloring are inviting and sharp. I have attempted similar photos, albeit without editing (hmmm....) and am similarly confounded by the loss of detail in the parasails. It seems one must start with an incredibly bright day to get the clarity and then add the ambiance of this work to get stunning. But, I am impressed. Well done.

done many times here. Would be fairly surprised for this to do too well, but I think it is well conceived. The ribbon is cooler than the shadow though...

Love the color of the sky, but the sharpening halos around the chutes are very distracting
