Hi Silvio
I must wonder who has the better view, you or the parachute man! What Ana amazing plAce for such a sail through the air, the lines of the mountains like veins and the town a tiny little conurbation below. The parachute lends some beautiful vibrancy and color to the view.
Thanks as always
Noel

Hello dear Silvio,
Something different in your gallery ; taken with good pov.
The portrait format fits well to your compo. Nice the small village midst of the wide landscape. The paraglyders adds life to the scenery.
Interesting notes.
TFS and best regards

Hello Silvio,
This is a great shot of the hang glider above the village. The vertical format allows us to see the depth of the scene and how high the glider is above the valley. The lighting and colors are great and the photo has excellent sharpness and DOF. You seem to have some dust on your sensor, it is showing up in the sky.
TFS,
Asa

Ciao Silvio
non dirmi che per strabiliarci hai pagato "il volo del calabrone"....
Gran bel colpo, due soggetti opposti, situati ai lati opposti e con fondali opposti. Ci vuole fortuna nel trovarsi al posto giusto nel momento giusto, ma anche molta abilità a gestire il momento e catturarlo al meglio.
Buon we
Carlo

aliabazari (21419) 2014-08-01 22:00

Ciao Silvio
Questo colpo è molto bella e attraente. L'esposizione profondo e ben eseguito. Buona risoluzione. Grazie per la condivisione

ikeharel (112549) 2014-08-01 22:26

Buongiorno Silvio,
A nice catch from the height over the Castelluccio valley, view of the flying paratrooper must be even greater joy.
Combined well with good contrast between subjects.
Arrivederci,
Ike

Tu as pas mal de taches de capteur dans le ciel

Hello Silvio,
Paragliding is not a hobby that really appeals to me, but judging by your fine composition I imagine the view from up there is magnificent. A fine capture of this intrepid explorer hovering above the town. An image benefiting from excellent depth and lovely light and natural tones.

ourania (51103) 2014-08-02 6:20

Ciao Silvio,
un' immagine bellissima e rara, un altro modo di godere Castelluccio ed il magnifico scenario naturale in cui si trova. Hai usato lo spazio offerto dal quadro verticale superbamente e la vista che presenti ha grandissima profondita'. Mi piacciono molto i colori naturali, il contrasto ed il senso di gentile movimento del paraglide. Da questo punto di vista si ha l' impressione di volare lo stesso. Complimenti e grazie!
Tanti saluti e buon fine settimana,
Ourania

Hello Silvio,
A superb capture of the hangglider high above the beautiful valley and the pictureque village, It's a very striking composition, well cropped and well timed.
Kind regards,
Gert

photoray (13981) 2014-08-02 7:12

Howdy Silvio,

Very attractive Castelluccio scene, with the hang glider floating above the green and grays of the mountains, and the ancient town dominating the hill top.
While I have too many fears of falling from heights, and would not hang glide, I would definitely enjoy sauntering here.

Thanks for sharing,
Cheers,
Ray

Ciao ami Silvio
Une vue splendide sur le village, le paysage qui est fantastique, belle prise du parapente dans le ciel bleu, très jolie
Belle soirée

willperrett (14195) 2014-08-03 4:14

Hello Silvio

Gorgeous landscape, with that village sitting apparently in the middle of nowhere under those forbidding bare mountain slopes. And then of course we have the hang-glider, who adds a completely different element to the composition. But I see that dirt has returned to your sensor: fairly obvious splodges evident in the sky (quite easy to remove them using the Spot Healing Brush in Photoshop)...

Regards

Will

abmdsudi (95869) 2014-08-03 8:44

Hi Silvio
well this must be a new one for you, yes? I don't think i've ever seen you post a photo of this town with a man flying above it! haha

I still am amazed at how this town sits upon all the landscape surrounding it.
wonderful photo

Ciao Silvio,

I was of 2 minds whether I should try tandem paragliding in Turkey as depicted here. I am sure it would be exhilarating. Good sharpness and nice graphism of the silhouetted paragliders. The pyramid shaped village clinging to the hill makes a good focal point. Tfs!

Didi (61589) 2014-08-06 11:08

Ciao Silvio
Belle vue dominante sur ce village pyramidal
Un coin magnifique à visiter
Oups il y a une tâche sur le ciel, il est facilement possible de l'éliminer
Sincères amitiés

Ciao, Silvio,
Thumbs up! Excellent combination of the nature, architecture and human activities. Good capture of the flight of sportsman with so impressive background. But I am surprised with this small town. Where do they take the water???
Best wishes,
Serghei
