Very pretty shot, and I am also surprised that the look of buzz filter and poster edges (or similar filters) were received well. Congrats on third place ribbon.

It's cool, no doubt about that, but I still don't really understand how this is a single photo and with no cloning, etc. I did not vote, btw. Does this guy have superpowers that enables him to fly vertically? I am not questioning your honesty at all, just intrigued and completely stumped (perhaps just ignorant). To me, you mostly just explained how you exposed for everything. What is he grabbing onto? Was this a fisheye lens? Do you have any outtakes? Sorry for my ignorance, but it's a noodle scratcher.
