Flying high..., a photo from Antalya, Mediterranean

Photographer's Note

Taken while paragliding from the 2000 metres high mountain onto the beach at Olu Deniz. It took 20 minutes to get down, exhilarating...

Although a bit hazy up top, this is really a beautiful and unique shot. I like how the coastline at right swirls up towards the top right of the photo.

Nina, this shot makes me contemplate to get into paragliding. I like the circular patterns: the wave lines in the water go parallel with the beach curve, especially near the sun relflection. Would use photoshop to add some contrast in the hazy area.

Wow. That is a fantastic photograph. The composition is excellent, and it is really just a beautiful location. I think I need to go to Turkey now.

Excellent shot! The composition is splendid. I agree with all other critiques. I find myself turning my head from left to right to find what angle the shot would need to be, to be straight, but I guess it already is straight, as I can't change my perspective. I feel like a dog chasing his tail, but in a good way. Very beautiful, intriguing shot.

Do you have your own wing? If not, how much must we pay to see such a wonderfull landscape! I'm speechless...

Thanks!

Photo is great but I think it's a shame to describe the Baba Dag, (Father Mountain) 1,989m, as a 3000 meters peak.

How come that more than 2000 viewed this and nobody wondered about it ?
