Flying in paradise
Contest Number: 98 Contest Theme: Wrapped, Covered, or Packaged 
Posted By: misomosi, 10-16-2014, 08:14 AM

That morning the ground was covered in fog. We were late in our 20km bike trip and the air ballons were already lifting as we drifted downwards toward the take-off village. When we descended well into the fog we realized it's too thick to see anything above so we decided to watch the slow lift from far-away. To the right a few horses were eating quietly the wet grass. To the left, a road was going upwards. The horses tempted me but I had no time to waste - I needed a view from somewhere above so I took the road to the left. There were gardens all around, and fences, and trees - I just couldn't find the view. The sun was just coming out of the clouds when I saw that one garden had the fence damaged, probably from some animal. I quickly got through avoiding the electric cable they use to keep off animals and there it was - the beauty!

The right place at the right time and the right composition and exposure.

Very awesome photo. The light is amazing. Having managed to get the parachutist in frame, brings a sense of wonder. As the parachutist is suffused with the light around her/him. It's an amazing scene.

I love the 'layering' in this shot. Both the vertical layering, and the distance layering.
Great atmospheric capture. Nominated !

Nice photo but it did not show for me in the comp nomination view

I would have nominated it for sure.
Don't give up on the competitions because of one less than ideal experience.

This is a nice shot. The compositional element of the hang glider is a bit oddly located but otherwise I don't see any problems.
I would keep submitting work. Every perceived failure is a chance to learn.
