[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Rick's Cafe in Negril Jamaica will let anyone make the 35 foot jump to the water, but for real excitement you can "hire" a local for $10 to jump much higher from a tree next to the ocean. I got very lucky, this shot was not planned, he launched just moments after my group showed up, I was walking down the patio to just check out the cliff that I later jumped from.

A very unique and colourful shot. You captured the jumper perfectly. I like the way the other two people seem oblivious to what is happening beside them. Well done.

You have timed this perfectly, Curtis. Did you get someone to photograph your jump? I think this would also work (it would be a bit more mysterious) as a vertical panorama with only the man, the trees and the roof on the right.

A truly unique capture, Curtis. The jumper is perfectly framed by the trees around him, and I also enjoy that the bystanders don't seem to notice him whatsoever. Great shot, hope you enjoyed your own jump.

What GREAT timing! He is perfectly framed by those branches. This is exceptional!

How did you like your jump?
