Description A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapor trail in the empty air
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

Learning to fly - Pink Floyd





Shot Details
There's a pole on some beach at lake Tahoe, and people were climbing it to jump in the water. I took quite a few shots, but I liked the one where none of the water is shown, and the sky dominates the photo with mountains in the background. Input?

Great pose and lighting. The vagueness of the background really brings the man into focus, even though he takes up less than a quarter of the picture. Nice capture.

You're right, it's better without any water shown,gives it a bit of imagination
Like the color as well

yeah, at first I didn't want to say how it's taken, so not to ruin it. But '2a7la' asked, and it's only fair.
