This really is over the top Stephen! Please share the story behind this. BTW, I love the colors and composition. #1556502

Be still my heart. Please tell us this is a composite. A top contender for the challenge for sure. Besides the punctum, this is a very interesting and appealing image. Where is it? #10925359

Stephen Shoff December 19, 2013

No, this is not a composite.

This is the afternoon skit at a movie set at Old Tucson. #10925513

Jeff E Jensen December 19, 2013

Well, this is pretty fantastic and fits the challenge perfectly! #10925786

Very well done, Stephen! I love the shadow of the stuntman on the wall. Excellent example for the challenge, and a hard one for anyone to beat. #10925799

Rita K. Connell level-classic December 20, 2013

great for the challenge, but not sure how I really feel about it. the shadow adds a bit of interest and makes you wonder is he going to land inside the large pot. #10925955

Don't jump! Don't j... Too late! and now I am never going to believe anything I see in the movies again.
Beautifully done Stephen. #10926236

I'm not sure that there are a lot of people who, in general, would be comfortable with a picture of someone falling 3 stories and landing on their head, Rita.

As for composition, the image might be stronger if I had caught him just a little earlier so that his shadow was complete on the wall and there was further to travel, and so that he didn't look quite so much like he was going to land in the jar. #10926308

super job on the challenge, Stephen. Agree with your reasoning on getting him earlier in the jump, but that's the kind of thing we usually think of after the fact. :O) #10926450

Beth Spencer December 21, 2013

Ouch!! That is one of the first thoughts that came to my mind, and then I thought I am glad I wouldn't be working when he hits!!!
Great job for the challenge! I do like the colors in this one! #10926544
