Why does this anonymous person keep calling me Jano?


Thank you, Sharon. This one didn't have any rigging in it, just a lot of cross wires and a giant light post with multiple heads. I prefer this shot as well. ~ Lonnit

Wonderful, Lonnit! It's funny, I came upon "High Rider" first and was going to write you a long comment about how for this challenge it might work better without all the steel and rigging. But before I wrote it I clicked here to find that you had the same idea already and carried it out beautifully. For this topic, I really do like this "edited" version much better, the bulbs across the top are an especially nice touch. Good work! ~Sharon

Thanks, Techo. Yes, I felt the line of lights was essential to the composition. It adds much interest. ~ Lonnit

Awesome! what a neat shot of an amazing acrobat. Really like this one best of the two, with the simple composition yet I like the top line that goes across. Fills in what would've been negative space, quite nicely.

Thanks, CJ. This he had no problem with, he fell, and caught himself, when he was jumping rope. There was nothing but asphalt below! ~ Lonnit

Great entry for the topic Lonnit - talk about delicate balance! Nice comp and great color too. CJ

Thanks Aam. I had to remove a whole bunch of support wires, lampposts, etc., leaving only the essentials. Your comment now justifies the effort. :) ~ Lonnit
