thanks again to the high diving team for letting me photograph during their training. and special thanks to this pictures model andre, who was nice and brave enough to do this "pose" for me.
you can find the whole story including the "setup" of this shot in one comment of this tryptich i entered for the b&w side challenge:
i predict a mid 5 for this one, but i don't care, i really love this shot and the little blur of the jumper. i even put this photograph in one of my applications for art schools.

Fantastic image. Simple, beautiful and iconic. I personally love the blur, there's a great contrast of motion and stillness in this lovely representation of flying free :)
Quite wonderful. Can spend a while looking at it. (Downsizing and sharpening perhaps didn't do it any favours - don't mean the blur but the edges of his torso and legs).
brilliant mixture of sports and iconography. I've never seen this, or rather I've seen this many times and never knew I was seeing it until you showed me.
