I think it would be nice If there was something to reference the flip to. Like a tree or anything that would put the flip more into perspective. Not saying that you flipped the picture or anything, but it's just more ambiguous what the orientation is. Nice work on capturing the moment though.

I like when shots like this have no context and it appears the person is just suspended in midair or falling or - well it leaves it up to the imagination and that's what makes them interesting.

I think it's great as is. The fall colors, the DOF.. nice work.

Just my 2 cents :P

I too like the colours and the DOF, except for me it would have been nice if his face was as sharpe as his hands to draw one to his facial expression. Still a great shot.

Great shot. I wonder what the photo would look like taken in front of him -- I would have liked to seen his expression on his face.
