 Coming down is the hardest thing :D

We just completed a blue roof and I thought it would be a perfect set up for the Jump challenge. Thanks to Matt for jumping as high as he could on the ridge of the roof. I hope none of my customers were watching. The title is from a Tom Petty classic "Learning to Fly".

I really like the leading lines that occur in this shot.

Very little was done to the shot. Cropping and a little bit of burning of the shingles to up the contrast.

Hope it does well
