Artist's Comments

This is entered into the Escape/Freedom Contest run by and

I remember seeing the Radiohead video for 'Street Spirit' by Jonathan Glazer I believe, and thinking it was the most beautiful thing I'd seen. I used the basic premise for that but set it in a natural context to symbolise man's affinity with nature. Notise the hat is left behind on earth, I like this detail most of all. Obviously you can take what you will from this and let me know you think, you know how much I love receiving comments.

Keep the Peace.

Shot w/28mm Pentax lens.
Model: Pentax P30
Film: Fuji 200

yah, well there are several things I don't like about this shot for instance the lighting since we had been up all night, no one could be arsed waiting for the sun to come up and light it properly. This means I had to use a wide aperture and so not everything is in focus, I wanted to use the hyperfocal point, and that can only be used at narrow apertures. Thus some of the trees have burnt out, I needed the fast shutterspeed for the jump.

Having said that, I'm not sure whether to be humbled or offended by your wanting to take the shot again; it's like you're saying "nice effort, but I reckon I could do it better"

Just what I think anyway. But thanks for the comments man, and i'll speak to you soon.

I really love this composition. I think the background against the boy is a little too bright. But otherwise, this is really great.

This photo really caught my eye when posted it. It's honestly packed with so much intensity... wonderful, powerful shot. :)
