    Sparrow Base Jumping

    This isn't a particularly good capture, but I thought it was funny. It looks like he's jumping off the branch for a bungee or base jump while his buddy looks on.

    lol nice shot. if it wasn't for the background this would've been a perfect shot. I love the fact that you caught him with wings in instead of outspread.

    Kinda funny how that one in the tree is looking at you like he's guilty of something. If only he had one wing out like he pushed the other one

    Thanks for sharing.

    The one on the right is the operator of the bungee jumping outfit. Right now he's thinking - "Oops, forgot the bungee again - hope he can fly!"

    I like it with more saturation.

    Re: Sparrow Base Jumping

    Interesting,

    I think it brings out the colour in the jumper better.

    My PP skills in PS need some work....I may have to do some reading...

    Thanks for the tweak!

    Sure, I saw the potential in the shot, just needed some tweaking.
