Bonjour Joël
Une très belle image avec ce "cascadeur" qui se détache de belle manière sur un beau ciel bleu. Il faut être jeune et inconscient du danger pour se livrer à ce genre d'exercice. Tu as appué sur le clic au bon moment.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Bonjour Joel
Beau timing pour figer en plein vol ce jeune cascadeur
Excellent POV en contre plongée permettant de l'avoir bien détaché sur fond de ciel bleu et donnant l'impression qu'il va vraiment s'en ramasser une bonne !
Bien vu et bien fait
Bonne journée, amicalement

Hello Joël,
An excellent title to accompany an excellent image. The upward angle of view helps create a mood of excitement with the cyclist seemingly plummeting down from the rooftop. Great sharpness.

Bonsoir Joël,
Le vélo comme son pilote sont en "suspension", l'image n'était sans doute pas facile à réaliser (de même que la figure de style !), mais le résultat est là : spectaculaire ! Bravo !
Bonne soirée,

Hello Joël,
The lower position makes the picture extra
exciting. I like also the open space in
the picture, it gives the feeling that the
cyclist can goes anywhere (and that makes
also the picture exciting). Light mangement
is also great. I nice two options are:
- to turn this picture ninety degree
- In B&W
Friendly regards,
Robert
