Another one from my Gambiatrip; I'm not so happy with the lighting in this shot but I found the pose and angle very "interesting",

A different perspective that we normally see presented here that shows the hovering mode quite nicely, Herman!!1111

I like the angle here. Very graphic appeal and works with the over all B/W of this image. Great eye and technique!

Certainly is a different pespective, and a brave one, but it works. The 3 'points' give it graphic strength.

Agree that the lighting isn't great, maybe the whites could be brightend in ps ?
