WHOA! For a second there I thought that was a person in the top of the shot! EEK!! :)
I can see why your neck would hurt, mine does and I'm not even standing there with you, you created a great shot that makes me feel like I'm standing there with you, waiting. Wonderful.
The shadows and tones are well done in this shot, the framing of the buildings, also well done. So you are probably asking, "Why did it only get a 5.576 then?"
Well, hard to say, to get into the minds of the voters is very hard indeed. I'm guessing the slightly off kilter of the top of the building on the left is part of the reason, if you had rotated just a bit so it was straight up and down might make a world of difference in this shot. If you do rotate and crop just a little differently I would love to see the result. I'm betting it will make a world of difference.
Hard to believe that the person capable of taking this thoughtful and beautiful photograph could also come up with such an awful title. But title aside, it's one of the most interesting images in the challenge. Very fine work. 7.
I appreciate your opinion. My original title was "Soaring High". Perhaps I should have used that instead. Is there a way I can change it. I am new to DPC?

when this 1st came up i was startled i though the bird was someone jumping. (terrible though i know)Now after looking at it i really like it. I like the way the 2nd building frames the shot
