Default Now that's a bright 'chute

Went to the Sydney skydive centre and was interested in trying to get a good shot. What makes a good shot of a paracutist? This one didn't turn out too bad. Used a polariser to get the colour in the sky. Hope you like.

Thanks for looking.

Now that is bright mechanic. Love the contrast between the colours and the sky. Truly beautiful work and would look nice as a desktop background.
