Photographer’s Note
Back again in Lake George, NY, it made me think of one of my previous post at the end of summer of another smile that I took not very far, well with the sun it is always a good start.

Pierre before I opened this thumbnail I thought the smiley face was a paste on smile on the photo. Now I see teh detail of the paraglider. This is such a wonderful idea having this expression on this glider chute. A great photo!

Nice shot Pierre;
At first glance of the photo, I thought it was a helium filled balloon. Makes for an interesting composition Pierre.
Nicely done,

Bonjour Pierre,
j'ai cru à une retouche en visionnant la seule vignette. Mais non, ils l'ont fait !
tres bonne idée que de nous proposer ce cadrage avec ces couleurs petantes et cette pointe d'humour.
merci et bon Week end
amicalement

Bonjour Pierre,
Un grand sourire dans le ciel, quoi de plus gai et sympathique. Le cadrage est parfait, le parachute ascensionnel prend toute sa dimension, et la couleur vive de la toile ressort à merveille sur ce ciel mouvementé.
Très belle prise de vue.
Amitiés.

Hi Pierre,
Not a Cow in the air as I have but a nice Smiley Smile! So simple and with your decisive moment a great air sportiv capture so well done, with a great impressive sky and excelent definition and also focusing. The enquadrement is splendid giving a lot of motion and real visual link to the moment. Very good work, well seen and composed.
Congratulations and thanks for also for sharing, visiting and your good critique.
Have a nice weekend and Best Regards.

This one is nice, Pierre. Quite simply made but the special touch of it is the backlight on the "smiling" parachute, and the silhouetted appearance of the guy. The melange of blue and clouds makes a good background.

Ha, a beautiful smile, Pierre. Wonderful contrast of colors and excellent framing. I like very much the light behind the parachutte.

Hi Pierre. Well this one sure came out nice. I think you hit the shutter release at just the right time. I see some dust in the dark cloud you could clone out. Nice catch Pierre.

Hi Pierre,
You captured this indeed at the decisive mooment. The clarity is outstanding, as is the unusual design of the apparatus. Great contrast in colours here with the blue in the dramatic sky. Well seen and captured.

Effective use of composition, Pierre, to both bring attention to the parachute and give some emphasis to the sky, which is magnificent!

Good shut, presented well in this kind 'fun' setting. Well seen, well disposed with the offcentered placement of the main subject.

Hello Pierre,
Great smile you got here. The sky is very sharp and saturated. I like how the chute stands out with that deep orange.

Bonjour, Pierre.
Je t'aurai bien donné un smiley rouge pour cette image (pour l'assortir à celui du parachute), mais TE ne nous offre pas la possibilité de choisir cette couleur ! En voilà donc un vert pour te remercier du partage de cette composition originale et amusante !

C'est très sympa... En plus les couleurs vont bien ensemble et le cadrage, nickel !
J'en viens presque à regretter le petit bonhomme qui pend !

Hi Pierre
Who put the sniley up in the sky?
They should put it in TE, instead!
Well composed shot, Pierre.
The contrasting sky are well executed with the smiley smiling all the way.
Well done.

Bonsoir Pierre
je parcourait ta galerie quand j'ai vu cette photo. A mon tour de poser un smiley vert pour ce smiley rouge. Une belle prise avec une très bonne lumière sur ce parachute et un bon choix de cadrage.
