Take off, touch the clouds, hug the skies, embrace the borderless freedom... playfull, dynamic ... be a child.

(Somewhere between landscape, people and sports... :) )

Thanks

Thank you for your comments.

@souwalker: I don't know. I primarily looked at the scene, at what is happening and how it looks, the rest was done rather unconsciously. Usually I've set the cam in AV mode and have the exposure measurement set to integral, center weighed (hey, that's my best guess translation from german :-)).

cheers

Thanks! Yes, simple, that's true. Often, this allows to transmit a metapher better than a complex scene.

cheers

yeah, guess it doesn't really fit into any of those categories...maybe rural life?

nice work!

She owns the whole world and can transform it back to green - we still have hope on this planet, thanks to children. - Very, very positive shot.

Excellent shot. Takes me back to my childhood, back before I met real life, ha. Keep up the good work.
