It's too bad the sky was so bright, you lose a lot of detail in the underexposed flying guy. Did you try pumping the low/mid-tones with a levels adjustment? It would be hard to brighten the exposure in-camera without totally blowing out the sky!
No motion blur but, Im betting the sun was up above/behind him because he is way too dark. Might want to try shooting the same shot later in afternoon with sun behind you.
The boy is stopped nut exposure is poor, and if it were improved it make a major dofference in results. The palm frawns' sharp tips lead the eye to the subject, good there.
Lighter clothing or different lighting angle would have made this easy to see. the subject's face is really dark. It looks like he is jumping over the trees. :-)
common mistake with backlit photos: either meter for the guy, not the whole scene, or use a fill flash. either of those will make sure the guy isnt so dark.
You definitely captured the spirit of motion here. Nice composition. You included just enough of the trees to give the photo depth and perspective, making the viewer feel that the subject is "way up in the air" Almost in the clouds! . A little more exposure would have made this photo a winner. Keep up the good work.
Sorry, but I don't believe that is God. Maybe the devil? You do good work but your title spoils the shot.....probably shouldn't, but it does for some. I think you enter for shock value anyway.
God looks younger than I pictured him. Seriosly, this photo fits the challenge quite well. If there were more lighting on the boy this would be an outstanding entry.
