Very nice... I like the grain and the overall mood of live entertainment photos of this nature. The tight composition also increases the intensity of this photo.

That's not a guitar... It's a bass

Bassist is what I'd have titled it.... very nice photo. Grain pattern makes this imho.

hrmm...the title is killing me, since he's playing a bass, not a guitar...bass guitar, I suppose you could argue. I really like the grain, but there's not quite enough dynamic range to really work for me.

: ) I found the parasailer easily enough, mostly because (based on the thumbnail view) I was looking to see which end of those contrails the planes were at.

I think I might agree with leaf that it could be cropped a little top and bottom (I'd crop to a 3:2 ratio) without losing anything critical; perhaps the river disappearing in the trees in the lower-left. I think that's compensated-for by puting the parasailer (title subject) real close to the top edge. That makes it easier to spot, and it's a goodway to isolate and add visual strength and importance to a small subject (c.f. Cowspace by Remie for the example which came to mind).

interesting shot, and nice landscape. The colors could be a little more vibrant. There doesn't seem to be much for darks in the image. I think it is a cool image with the parasailer there, but he is so very small that it isn't part of the main subject of the photo. i had to look at the photo for a while before i saw him. Perhaps it feels a bit akwardly cropped, but i understand why you did that, or assume that you did that to get the parasailer in the image, large enough, yet including the mountains.
So overall, good image, parasailer too small, akward crop.
