 Thanks everyone who voted and/or commented. This was taken near the Torrey Pines Gliderport. I think this was the first time I saw a completely blue paraglider, which was very fortunate for the challenge. I completely agree with doremi's comment about the centered horizon--that bothered me too, and not just because it's a RoT challenge.

The subject is nicely placed but I'm just wishing the horizon wasn't in the middle of the photo for this challenge. Like the lighting.
