 VERY windy afternoon. These guys were out en mass. Took about 100 shots to get it lined up.

I had stopped just to take some pictures because the sails are so colorful. Then at one point, they converged into a triangle and the idea struck me. I've got lots of outtakes with 3 sails, but this guy liked to jump!

This picture is fun, but I see no triangles anyway. I see a semicircle, and maaaaaaaaaybe a trapazoid in the higher of the two chutes. Seriously, what were you thinking? :)

You obviously didn't take this for the challenge, right?

Interesting idea to try and include the two parachutes and the person to form the trangle. To make it work better I think the colours of the parachutes need to be alot more vibrant so they stand out more and draw the viewers attention. Also, if they were a little closer to the person it might help as well.

Almost missed the triangle in the image...glad I took a minute to study it a little closer. All of the other pix that I've seen have been all hard line triangles. Way to think out of the box.

This is an awesome representation of a triangle in photography! My eye instinctively traced the lines from the surfer, to the parachute, to the other parachute, then back to the surfer. Wonderful take on the challenge in my opinion!

Love the title, action, color and viewpoint. Horizon is level!! Creative triangle...I like that your trianglular points are there and the viewer gets to fill in triangle visually. Fun shot.

Good capture, I like the three points making up a triangle. It feels a bit over sharpened, but not sure if it was the camera or not. A bit to much punch in the whites. Otherwise a great photo. 8
