Author, to get rid of the vignette, try shortening the tube a bit to allow more of the image to fall on the sensor. Also, take sandpaper (very fine) to hone the edges of the tube at the cut-off end. It appears your 'lens' or hole is very jagged...try re doing the hole with a fine sewing needle very carefully as irregularities will result in poor focus...GL

Nice shot ! Perhaps would have been better if the guy on the left was not in the frame.(But I understand that this kinf of picture can not be shot twice with the perfect scenery)

Apart from the fact that it would not have been possible to totally crop him out, I also felt he shows the lean she is on, without that, people may suspect I had just angled the photo to make it look like she was falling.

beautiful shot

thnx a lot

beautiful.

great find and shot

when I saw this scene I had to shoot.

lol...it is true ... I never thought about it
Thanks greymval!!

Really great take!

very very nice original photo...best of luck author...gl

Great use of shadows! Love that your model is crouched in the corner, as if the world has beaten him down and he is just trying to deflect the pain. Only criticism is I would have rolled his left sleeve down below his elbow (as on his right arm). Still, love it!

P.S., totally knew it was you. :P

Yeah, steve I was thinking the same thing. then the more i looked and the slight obscurity of the sleeve being rolled up farther than the other, the more I liked it.

I thought it was you...great idea!
