Jerzy,

At first I did not see the parachutist, and just admired the clouds between the mountains. But then what a surprise to see the crescent shape of the parachutist descending into the valley below. Beautifully conceived shot, with excellent compostion and color. Regards from Virginia, Bulent

Hey Jerzy,

wow that sure is quite the view. The sheer size of the place that so dwarfs the man is breathtaking. Then you have the nice balance with the two solid pieces of land in opposite corners of this sea of clouds and finaly the icing on the cake, the parachute.

Hi Jerzy

What a thought provoking shot, to me at least. Technically I think the composition is spot on, the trees bottom left help give a sense of scale. But my first thought was that it highlighted the insignificance of man, against nature, but then it gave me a real sense of mans freedom, and ability to choose the use of leisure time. But then finally, such choices always come down to wealth, or lack of. Like I say, the best photographs make us ask questions. TFS

Witaj,
Uwielbiam taką przestrzeń.
Taki widok można tylko określić Faustowskim "Chwilo trwaj". Jest jakaś nieokreślona wolność i potęga w tym małym człowieku.Morze chmur urzeka.
TFS,
Krysia

Finest...
If you scroll the window to the upper edge of the screen to cut-off that empty horizon up there.
Finest...
If you imagine no huge, white frame around.

Still... Breath taking and holding in tight, palpitating grip.
Possibly, the best photo of this kind I ever saw in my miserable life.
WHERE exactly have you've been standing Jerzy, to take that airy marvel?

White frames???
Theme for a long and passionate debate.
Like grain.
Like 'neat image'
Like 'photographing someone's else photographs'
Like 'shooting from the hip'
Like 'what is a portrait and what is not a portrait'?
..etc..etc..
Shall we, ladies and gentlemen...?

But why wait months? Especially when you offer me, in a so wonderful way, these clouds! So after all, you had your trip above the clouds! ;)
So let me 'praise' that photo here. Firstly, because it is so different of what you post usually. I know, others said it too. Notice that I said 'post' and not 'shoot'. I'm quite sure we don't post all the style of pictures we take. Second, because it is so inspiring! For the vastness of the space, the immensity of it. It gives me oxygen! It gives me freedom. It gives me possibilities.
Beauty of the clouds. Clouds of beauty. That tiny paraglider in red (yes! in red!) in the infinity. Beauty...
And yes, cut the white sky. I know, I know, George said it. But, do I always have to disagree with him? ;)

Wow, a rare wide landscape shot from Jerzy! This breathes space and oxygen my friend! Really like it. Those tiny turquoise wings are marvelous. It shines a light I can’t explain. The inclusion of the foreground dark grass and the background mountains are crucial for the success of this. Amazing!

Ola Jerzy, I love the sensation of beeing above such a white fluffy carpet. It obviously give me a great sensation of freedom. May be not for some persons like Ana, who likes to be with both feet on the floor, but for me this image is amazing.
