Didn't notice the guy at the top until I enlarged the picture. Freaky, almost looks like he's jumping off! Nice shot though.

Interesting shot of a base jumper. Do you have any others in the series after his chute deployed. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Is that what he is? I just thought he was jumping up and down on the rock and trying to scare everyone!

That is my guess as it looks like a small pilot chute has deployed behind hi,. Maybe Archie can solve the mystery for us.

He is my friend and fellow trekker, when he reached the summit. He wanted his picture taken. I thought he would just stand still but he suddenly jump off high from his original position. He did scare us!

When I preview the result on my cam, it was so cool but what he did was scary!

Are u trying to say he's not a BASE jumper and he never jumped off ???
man that's really cool effect... then i have to say brilliant shot !!! got most of us fooled... me def..

this BASE jumping brings to mind a show I was watching on Nat Geo... about how photographer strive to get that perfect shot... they show the shot and then show the story behind it and how he/she managed to get it... awesome..
