Last minute flight this morning produced what I've been wanting for the most part. I had hoped for some deeper wing-overs and a bit of motion blur, but the already fickle conditions for the last week was still not allowing the lift for the altitude.
Pumped up the contrast and saturation some. A bit of burning and cloning. It was a hazy day. I'll post the original to my profile.

Nice shot. I like it better each time I look at it. The title is sort of dragging it down, IMO. I also have a nasty suspicion that this is THE "damned beach", or nearby it, coastal Oregon. Damned beach! So if that's zoomer or charlie doing this paragliding, well then damn, I knew it! regardless, a good entry and a totally different "look" from the rest of the challenge.
I paraglide as well. I'm scared to take my camera with me. Your crazy! I'm working on my P2 with my dad right now. I live in Monterey Bay where people paraglide everyday! Where was this taken?
That looks like Cayucos with Morro Rock in the background. Nice little town there. Oh yeah, helluva shot! Extra point for having the b@lls to bring a camera up there! Hope this ribbons!
Love the view but I wish I could see more of the paraglider, the wings, something. ...I really like how the wing is reacting with the light how the sun is shining through it....very luminous.
