 WEEE! This is my friend that was jumping on my trampoline and he did a back flip. I saw the sunset in the background and thought that it would be nice to take him with it in the background.

Cool shot! Great sky...I like the blurred legs which sharpen up as you follow through the rest of the body. Looks like it's a painting but then not...

I LIKE this. A lot! I like the facelessness, I like the lack of point of reference (such as the ground), I like the blur and lighting. Very surreal. It's what my dreams look like.

Personally, I MIGHT have cropped just a touch of tree so the dark wasn't quite so heavy, because it tends to draw my eye a bit, but that's the only change I'd make.

Perfect for the challenge topic. I wish it were less noisy or more in focus or brighter... it's a bit flat as is. But, I hope it's doing well for you.

Marcus :)

Like the shot mate, one of your best to date, I am not voting on this challenge just commenting but would not vote anyway as I know this is yours.

I would have given you a 6 or 7 for this I love the drama in the sky and the motion blur on your body as you jump really adds to the image.

Just poor of sharpness, but I like the colors

love the idea, the colors. a sharper focus and omitting the tree on right would've put this one over the top.

I like the idea but if he is indeed doing a backflip I would have liked to have seen the ground on this one. Also, the composition of the photo is such that the first thing I see in this photo is the subject's middle - it would have been cool to see more facial expression.. 6
