My attempt at flying

Camera was set on manual exposure, mounted on a tripod and flash was manual. A remote was given to a friend who having a sore knee just sat there and hit the remote every so often. I think I did this about 40 times which of course greatly amused all of the Chinese.

Some cropping and further lighting adjustments was done in PS and LR.

Please tell me what you think, positive or negative.:thumb

Exposure looks good, and the shutter speed stopped the motion, but for me your left foot sort of blends in with the flowers and the "flying" part of it took little while to register. If your foot had been against the sky it would have worked much better IMO. Of course, for that you would have had to jump like a madman or got a lower camera angle, which would have made for a less interesting background...

Your criticisms are valid and I agree. I would have liked me to be in the air more clearly.

It probably sounds stupid, but the picture was the most dynamic of the shoot, which was the latest and greatest in my "Mimic the dumbest poses you can find" series.

Feel free to critique my other work.
