Temporary Suspension

Posted by Richard Irwin (Belper, United Kingdom) on 13 September 2008 in People & Portrait.

I guess that hobby is not for those who are challenged by vertical suspension.

Ahhhh, no... you wouldn't get me up there doing that Richard, although a part of me really wishes I could :o) This is an amazing image, I love the colour and the detail and the way the sail is eluminated by the sun, wonderfully done!

@Kylie Greenan: Thankyou, but I must admit that I added the brightness and colour saturation in Photoshop, as it was so grey and dull when I took the photo, the original looks more like a colourless sillhouette.

A really nice shot, Richard! The light illuminating the sail is just beautiful. Bravo!

My son and I planned to parasail this past summer and the weather just never worked out for us...this image reminds me we need to try to do that next spring or summer!
Great shot

I know that this hobby is not for me. I also love the angle and the positioning of the image.

Beautiful capture of that paraglider.

Some people just love hanging around. Solid shot Richard, lots of definition. Was the sun behind the paraglider..?

@Observing: It was a bit of a dull grey day, so I have increased the blueness a touch with a filter, and then used the spotlight filter in Photoshop to put the emphases on the paraglider
