Description
I was reading a book that reminded me of the 9/11 incident, specifically of the people that were stuck on the top floors and decided to jump out of the windows. I can't start to imagine what was going through their minds at that point.. all their life ended just like that.And now the tidal waves in asia killing so many unexpecting people.. it all makes me think of life and how inexplicable it is.
I remembered this photo and decided to post it, after some color edit. It doesnt have anything to do with the incidents but you can imagine the figure jumpin out of a high building to die.

this is stunning. when i first saw the thumbnail in your gallery it looked like a very uplifting image.. but after reading your description and fullviewing it.. the fact that you can't see the ground does give it a sense of something more sinister..
this picture is poetry in motion.. definitely a fav.

I don't really like the description it's too much of a downer on what would normally be an exciting fun photo, but I do like the photo, my friends and I often do flips when messing around for fun, I have plenty of shots of flips, but this one is far better because of where he was jumping off, the form is very clean too, it appears he hardly tucked as well, but still had plenty of room to land. +fav for sure

yea the description is pretty depressing and inappropiate 
i cant tuck in man, how do you do that?

for backs tuck about 1/2 way through, just bring your knees to your chest, but honestly the laid out backflip looks more stylish...for fronts, I think late tucks are the best...if you are goin off something big.

the part of the legs is a bit blured but it's a great capture. I like the connection between the sky and the city with the sea between. good work

oh my this reminds me of this artist jeanfrancois here on deviantart, he does these sorts all the time
this is done like very great, good capturing, very well working background, nice composition and the picture has such energy with it now, only next time try to add a flash to the picture, just a little, so you get to see more of the clothing she is wearing. The blur on her leg could be solved by doing it at exacly 1/60 or less...
gooood luck 
I would want to miss you in 2005

Incredible shot, and great description. I also wanted to take note of the framing. Beautiful job not allowing a border from the top, it emphasizes downward motion.

Incredible photograph.
With all due respect to your thought process, in dedication to the victims of 9/11 ... this photograph did not make me think of a helpless person, fearfully jumping off a building to avoid burning flames, to his death ... instead, I thought of freedom, happiness, and life ... the backward flip seems so liberating, and this image brought a smile to my face ... a man enjoying life ... and I found it difficult to connect this powerful image to world tragedies.

I'm glad you took the time to see all that in this image. Thank's for the comment and I agree, not much connection with the incidents.

Knowing about manipulations and all, it still gives me that queezy stomach feeling you get when the rollercoaster is about to drop. Good work!

Insane! How did you pull it off? (Unless these are your master tricks that you do not want to reveal to the public)
Happy New Year!!!

I love the bright blue of the sky, and how the subject looks like he is plummeting. Good shot.
