Good shot. The red outfit works really well in all the greyness.

Great capture. Couldn't the lady have smiled for you? ;-P Timing was spot-on as is composition. Dave

Goes to show that women have more bees in their heads than men. Wink

Very, very nice. People have mentioned the composition and timing. The focus is spot on too, so presumably you had that already set and locked (manual?) And the shutter speed too seems just about right, because her body is very sharp except you can see some movement in her feet. Seems everything came together for this shot (even the clouds are not too low).

Fabulous - one look at this and I was back doing my free-fall jump. Glad I chose a plane though! Excellent shot.

Excellent shot - from the world's worst natural-born skydiver. (Never got past static line 1 in my log book - kicking, weak exits, heabutted plane wheels on the way out once...) Smile

Oh cr*p when I saw it first, and I thought wanting to do the wolds highest Bungy jump is brave! This is a top quality shot with a beyond brave subject. Ina

Rather him than me. Good photo though!

Super duper shot. I'm sure those knee pads will offer satisfactory protection!

Good grief! The things people do for a buzz!
I'd prefer the rather more sedate, double shot in my latteWink
