Flying On Chicamocha Photo

Photographer’s Note

Flying on Chicamocha
--------------------
Following the landscapes that frame the great canyon of Chicamocha, I can tell you that:

If you're looking for an adventurer and adrenaline as much as possible in one of the most beautiful spots of Santander and Colombia, dare to live a unique experience in one of the largest natural canyons of South America and the largest in Colombia, an exclusive site, quiet Far from sites filled with tourists, where you can play sports and extreme activities safely and reliably for inexperienced adventurers: canoeing, mountaineering, paragliding, ecological walks, rafting and so on.

All you need is your spirit of adventure ...

We hope

Hola John,

Parece una actividad muy divertida. Me gusta el punto de vista de esta foto y la buena luz que captaste. Me parece que las colinas verdes se ven un poco suave pero los colores estan muy bien. Gracias por compartir.

Hi John,
The composition here was good, the landscape in the background is well seen and the flying man is very well placed on the left hand side. The lamp post works well in the centre. The light was enhancing. Thanks for sharing!
Regards,
Lars

hello John,
definitely looks like adrenaline-filled adventure, must me great views from up there. I quite like how you have composed the photo with the strong lines leading the eye into the shot. the layers of the mountains create a nice depth to the scene, the only thing I might want to change is the placement of the lamp post - it might look a little better slightly more to the right. but that's a personal opinion. the photo is very good as it is :)

regards,
Kristine

Hi John,
This great photo, combined with your note, looks really exciting.
Could be a very good commercial :-)
The view above is probably breathless (as well as the exercise;-)
Well done,

Hola John,
hay diversos elementos que me atraen en esta toma, la baranda de madera. la farola amarilla centrada en el cuadro, la perspectiva de vértigo de los cables de esta tirolina, el aventurero que desciende por ella, y por último, el paisaje de las colinas verdes que parecen de terciopelo y el cielo decorado con las nubes.
Todo está muy bien organizado en la composición, y todo tiene su cuota de interés gráfico y estético.
Bonito trabajo, la luz y el color están bien gestionados.
Un abrazo,
Josep

Salut John
Sperbe capture. Le passage de l'homme volant est bien placé dans l'image.
Le lampadaire, est lui un peu trop centré.
Bonne soirée
Christophe
