I'm no expert but that doesn't look good. Hope the backup kicked in okay.
Nice composition, great blue sky, and good composure on your part to catch the moment.

You possibly are hearing this alot but I sure hope the guy made it. Great photo.

I'm sorry what are we looking at? Is that a para jumper or a sack of grain on fire? 6

Nice use of thirds. Good focus. I like the interpretation of the challenge - clever.

What is that a hotair ballon?
10/03/2003 02:40:33 PM
I have no idea what that is, but I like the blue of the sky behind the white smoke. Good Fast shutter speed ot get that one

Ummm - is this guy OK???
10/02/2003 10:03:33 AM
Isn't that officially 'Falling'

I canĀ“t imagine how this pic came to be, but I like it very much! Cool pic and cool timing!

Arrggh! Hope he/she was alright.

Cloud is lovely against the rich blue and creates a nice leading line to the object.

I hope this individual didn't panic and saved him or herself from demise. I think you have captured an extraordinary event, whether it shows flight or not is up to the voter. I personally don't think it does however this photo may make people wonder why anyone would jump out of a perfectly good plane. I think you made a great effort here. Good luck in the challenge.

He didn't get hurt, did he? Oh, disturbing.
09/30/2003 11:33:30 AM
Ouch! I've never jumped out of a plane, but I'm pretty sure that's not the way it works! I like the composition of the shot. good work!

Excellent capture. I hope this was only a trick and that guy is okay! The white smoke on the blue sky background is what gives this pic its boost - 9.
09/29/2003 06:59:06 PM
wow...what is that exactly..I can't quite make it out...great capture regardless...I hope nobody got hurt!
09/29/2003 02:29:30 PM
Interesting subject matter. Not sure whether this is flying or falling! Either way it's a great capture and is a great shot photojournalistically (is that a word?). Good Luck, Todd. 8

Couldn't you get him to look at the camera?

What a shot!
09/29/2003 01:59:49 PM
what is that, i don't get it...sorry
09/29/2003 12:54:31 PM
Interesting shot. I'm not sure what is happening but the color, light, and focus are okay. Also it's for sure they are in flight....!
09/29/2003 12:56:09 AM
OMGosh, hope it turned out okay!
