I wanted to give the feeling of a light and well balanced chair....
At first, I had planned to do this outside against the blue sky but it turn out to be to windy... so I did it inside after dark...
The chair was suspended to a cross bar with nylon fishing line... for the rest, the picture talk by itself...... the shadow on the wall gives a extra theatrical effect to the scene.. the first time, the fishing line broked.... you can imagined..
Cropped, curve....

I gave a 7 when voting and came back to find out more. Your description is humorous. I like the idea and the composition. As said, the shadows are nicely dramatic. The sepia-like lighting is also rather nice. I think with a stronger directional light you could have kept the shadows but gained a greater depth of field with f/8 or so. That would have helped with the focus. But then again, what do I know. I am learning - and have learned something from your great set up. Thanks.
I can see the string it's hanging by! Maybe that's not such a bad thing... Could it be said that the person hanging around beneath the chair is marginally less well balanced? 8
Nice balancing act! But... the lighting with the shadows all over the place and the bright spot on the backgound and not on the man's face draws my attention away from the action. 4
What I really like about the picture is not so much the action, which is pretty funny, but actually the shadows on the wall. Generally flash/light shadows are a bad thing, but I think it really give a lot of interest to the photo. The only shadow I don't like is the one on in the bottom left corner.
If you could have fixed the White balance on this photo (make the whites really white) and have a bit more contrast you would have a stunner. Still above average rating.
great execution. just wish the focus was a lil more sharper on the face of the model and that bird in not adding much to the composition. Well composed and nice image nonetheless
Nice capture - loving the shadows and the angels - if there is one negative it would be that the image just looks a little flat - Could do with a bit of contrast.
