i like that you can see the cord/string attatched to the person flying. it causes my eye to go directly to the person.

the sky is relativly clear and the water is not too wavy which gives it a fun feeling.

i like the background with the beach and the big tall buildings as well.

(is that you in the air?!)

When I first looked at this photo I saw the parachot, and then my eyes traveled down the rope and into the water. Even though low camerangles usually demonstrate the power of the object or character, this photo makes me think the person is very vulneable. With the vast sky above him, water below, and distant shoreline it seems like numerous things could happen to this person that would cause them harm. The color in the photo is very cold with the blues, and it sort of gives me the chills.

Nice picture. I think this picture has two angles, which is unique. A flat angle is directed for the shoreline and a low angle is used for the parachute. This picture is awe-inspiring because of the tiny person in the parachute performing daring tasks, the tall buildings, and the stormy, immense clouds. This makes the viewer feel insignificant and small. The dim natural light (sun blocked by clouds presumably) adds to this "insignificant and small" feeling.
