Very good shot and I really like the post processing as well....I'm pretty sure if any of us were standing there we wouldn't be standing on one leg either :D

Thanks for the comments!!

You have to wonder why he's up there so high. Think of how small all of those targets are from way up there!! :) (and all the work to get back up there when/if he ever goes down to ground level.)
