Great balancing act Shirley, neatly framed too. I like the contorted shape of his body and what a capture.
Glad you are back again and well done.

Thats it! Now it is just "his" car and works a a piece or part of the story quite well.
Nice job Shirley!

Yep you're right Charlie! And I said that's gotta hurt the feet and he said "nope but man my legs hurt from jumping up there, I'm pooped" LOL

Must be a rock climber? Funny how important our hands are to fascilitate balance. Nice subject Shirley..........it does give some added human relation but I gotta say those cars bug me (I think) :-) Back when I was doing a bit of climbing this was called "tree surfing"

Hey Alistair..........not as painful as you think. He is actually walking on a piece of 1" tubular webbing not a wire.

Thanks and good to be back (sorta HA). Flick, he never made it too far. He was playing around in the park (I think) and he tried a couple of times and fell before I could get a shot off. LOL This time I got 3 shots! This was 2nd of the 3, for fun I will put the other 2 in the originals gallery... SHIRLEY

Funny when you compare this pose with a professional (always to the sides). Like an infant learning to walk. Good grief I would hate to fall at my age :-) Good to see you back and shooting, Shirley!

Hi Shirley, well done to capture this. The whole body is kind of distorted, especially his right hand, which looks as if it's growing from his waist. You did well to spot this and get the shot before he reached the end of the wire.
