Taken at a parasailing competition at Lake Samammish, Wa. The competition was over the water and this guy deployed his reserve in time. He landed without incident, in the water however.

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.
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.
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
