 Flying without feathers is not easy; my wings have no feathers. ~Titus Maccius Plautus

Shot from the roof at Skydive Deland, and I would say the jumper was 5 stories up and was approaching for landing.

If you've ever thought about skydiving, but were afraid because of the risk... set those fears aside and get on a plane. It will change your life, and you'll never look at the sky the same way again.

I like the high contrast, although it has cost you a lot of shadow and highlight detail. May have been overcropped, which leads to a "mushy pixel" feeling. I like the clouds and the composition.

comments: Certainly fits the challenge. Very cool image. I love the framing, b/w conversion and sky. Few nit-picks: the haloing around the parachute and bit of over exposed clouds behind him. If not basic editing I would see about lightening his face and body a tiny bit and toning down those rear clouds. Good luck on the challenge.
