 OK this is one of the outstanding Milton Keynes Parcours (free running) team

They were performing at this weekends festival and they were just stunning to watch, their litheness and the way they defied gravity astounded me

I took a lot of pictures but I liked this one for the challenge because the clouds seemed a bit dreamlike and I caught the young lad who was doing the backflip smack at the horizontal point of the turn which made me think he looked like he was falling out of the sky, which is a nightmare I had once

Nice shot, Jon. Nice score, too. If I hadn't pulled my nightmare shot you would have beaten me. It was not doing well at all.

Cool shot, Jon. You caught a lot of open sky around the falling man. I gave this a 7, it would have been higher but for the heavy noise in the sky. I hope you don't mind, but as an experiment I copied your photo, selected the man using the wand, inverted the selection, and ran a high denoise function (I have Paint Shop Pro 9). It seemed to work well.
EDIT: posting at your suggestion:

Most people here don't know about parkour (le parcours) except for as seen in a couple of car commercials. I wasn't aware of it until I saw the movie Banlieu 13. It would be cool to see a live exhibition.

Oh my goodness! What an amazing capture that made my legs go numb and gave me goose bumps!

What a cooool shot. I think it's a good shot for a candid. The clouds look great! The noise is the distraction in the photo, which is unfortunate because this is really cooool. Do you have Noise Ninja? I have something like it and can send you a link for it. You'd be surprised what a difference it will make.

Fun photo!

Don't you just hate it when you "fall" off to sleep and it snatches you back awake.

There is a lot of noise in this image that I do not find to be complimentary.
