 Photo taken at a charity bungee jump, It was a really sunny day hence the near white background and I was just lucky to catch this jumper at the point of his cord tightening with him in a straight line. I wish I had caught his face on the image but you cant have your cake and eat it. After process I was relatively happy with this though as it gives off an abstract feel with the light background.

Not expecting it to great in the challenge as i believe a picture with a facial expression of a jumper would have worked better but i quite liked the abstract feel to this picture so it went in instead.

More pictures from the jump can be viewed here.

Hi Martin,
Nice idea, I just don't see it here. I don't agree with the compo or framing here, way to much dead space to the right hand side and the background just doesn't seem to work for me. The title really doesn't do much for the image either. Seeing his facal expression might have tied the image to the title but even here we lose this aspect of the image because most of his head is chopped off.

Others may disagree, but I think that cutting his head off is what makes this photo work for me. Thrilling!

Color is flat. Maybe a little overexposed? I actually like this a lot though. Fits the challenge well. Very well.
