Awesome Capture, how did you get him to float so long to take the picture :o) #511443

Thanks for asking the question Dan! There was I peering closely at the screen trying to spot whether the kid was photoshopped on a seperate layer from a different image or whether the fence was cloned in to cover whatever he was sitting on! Now, I am plain impressed by the truth! Wow!
Great stuff Brenda. #4097856

Excellent shot to be jumping and crossing his legs so quick! Was gonna say teach me that secret so I can float on air when I am at work, lol
Kudo's to you guys for this great composition. It's a smile photo :) #4991817

I tell ya, I also stared at it wondering if you did two photo's together, Never thought about a trampoline. SUPER AMAZING capture and timing girl. #4994376

Thanks everyone! We had a blast trying to get it just right! Probably about 100 shots! LOL! Thank goodness for digital camera's I don't think I would have tried it if it were film based! #5000028

That's very amazing considering this is an action shot from a trampoline! He does appear to be floating. I would have had the subject lay on ground in position of sun and then mask on layer... but then yours is authentic effort. Exceptional! #5007400

Brenda c. McFarland October 30, 2007

Thanks Steven! I have yet to learn how to mask anything on I know a little about layering but thats about all. unless masking and layering are the same. #5007711

Great timing, Brenda! Very well done! #5013780

I studied the image, Brenda, wondering how you got the shot of your son from that perspective...just assuming it was a layered or cloned image. Figured you got him to lay on his back for the shot, then rotated and applied the layer to the fence bg. (I was definitely over-thinking!) I laughed when I realized he was jumping on a trampoline!
Great job!!!
