very clever composition... I like this empty space. Great b&w also.

Hi Brendan, this is a beautioful picture, the compo is excellent with all this grey, so empty and so effective on my eyes.
This is a clever shot and the upside down man is the cherry in here.
Great !

Hi Brendan, a nice idea for a minimalistic shot... Clicked at the right time... I like this one better than some of your previous shots of Switzerland, it seems to mee that you were quite shy while in Switzerland and pained to get close to your subjects, some intimacy is missing for me, you should post the ghosty one from Flickr, a winner I think... I know that Switzerland is not that exotic and people rather cold and not so happy to be photographed (privacy please) so I can understand, but it seems that you were a bit far from the subjects when you took the pictures... There is a good remedy, put a 35 fixed lens or avoid using your zoom beyong 35 or 50mm... Hope you don't mind...
Kindly
Yan

Minimalistic composition as brave, as the leap itself. Love this lonely little cloud fulfilling composition. Great scene. Greetings T.

Hi Brendan.
Je trouve le cadrage vraiment très bon, j'aime bien ce grand espace vide, ce côté simpliste est génial.
Le timing avec ce mec en plein plongeon, ce passage en n/b, ce vignettage....ca donne vraiment une photo super intéressante.
Bien joué

Hello, Brendan--
i like what you did here, using a minimalistic composition and emphasizing the blank space of the sky, making it feel as if he's surrounded by such emptiness, yet has thrown himself from the lone point of safety.
Thanks!

This is a great photo Brendan. The vignetting is super and that gray background really casts a very special mood into the scene. The recorded jump is perfect, but what I really like is the space in the picture. Very good!

Image so bizarre in its appearance, but
technically perfected - can't but not to
smile as because I'm so pleasantly surprised!
Works superbly in b/w.
Congratulations on creating an illusion so strong,
Robi

Hi Brendan,
This photo is simply just eye candy. The simple B/W sky with a platform poking up in the bottom left is sweet. Great freeze of the guy with this guy going head downwards into God knows what.

Regards,
Brian

Cheers Brendan!!

So simple yet so good!! The minimalistic approach is just great Brendan. The fact that you took it (or convert this one to B&W)gives the picture a special feeling. I also like the fact that this one differs pretty much from what I call your urban approach.
Very good composition and sharpness of the guys jumping from the bath tower!

see you around


Regards

Hi Brendan,
How are things? I told you before that I like this shot. In fact I like even better the combo title + photo. So much drama ;-)
You clicked at the perfect time. I like the vigneting and use it quite a lot myself, but i find it a bit overkilled here. Either I'd go for a bit less, or maybe I'd expand it toward the inside a bit more.
Cool shot though!

Hi Brendan,,
This is an excellent composition! I love it...the way the guy is suspended in the air.
Well done,

damn Brendan this kicks ass! nicely composed and I like the slight tilt. I don't think the vignetting works that well here though...
