Composition : I see you received several comments that there is too much space on the bottom of the shot. Personally I disagree with that. The negative space gives the subject a direction to drop into. Without that space, you have less of a feel of "dropping". Then again, they may well be right and I could be the one that's wrong :) Or maybe we're both right. Maybe the space lends direction to the shot, but perhaps there is a tad too much of it. Maybe a "little" off the bottom would be an improvement. What do you think?

Exposure / Lighting : Great exposure. By luck or design, you caught just the right light/exposure. I'll assume it was design :)

Focus : Wonderful. No issues here.

Post Processing : If you did any, it is subtle enough so it looks like you didn't.

Challenge / Wow : Challenge nailed. No doubt. Wow factor is absolutely there. Wonderful shot.

Beaten by the other 'nutter with a propeller strapped to his back' photo for me, but this is still great. Good sharp focus, great composition against a perfect blue sky and a zoom lens to die for!

Definitely a valid try at 'Transportation,' but the image doesn't really have much else going for it. It feels like a semirandom snapshot (though at least the focus is nice and crisp). Maybe a different cropping would have worked better?

I think this image needs more value. Maybe if there were clouds or something in the background it would make the image have more interest.

Good shot!!! For my taste, I would have liked seeing more of the bottom third cropped, but a high score from me anyway.

I like how he seems to be just "dropping in".

wo. very nice color saturation of the sky ... makes for a very nice background for your main subject. Love how the "flyer" is suspended from the top of the phot. Great catpure. Jakco. 9

Great subject. But I'm not sure if this much empty space at the bottom really helps.
