Description
"Angel-flying is a natural job! However, its not simple at all. In case the student will not believe in fatality, that he is an angel ... he will crash! He will crash into the tree, the wall, the chimney, into pretty women. So, the main base of successful flights is FAITH. Only man who believe, is ready to fly free..." Peter Burda.Related content

wow.. i totally 
on the crit note..
the shading on his face goes on the neck is a tad too linear way.. that is, it ends in a straight line rather than one that contours the shape of the back of the jaw.
on the woo note...
it's such inspiring work.. the outlay and composition are so lovely and the added text sits perfectly with it
cheers

You know, i've always had this obsession with flight. I think that's one of the main reasons I got into digital artwork, the possibilities are so freeing, you can make yourself fly anytime you want.
This is an excellent shot! I love, ABSOLUTELY LOVE the colurs as well, which is something you mastered.
I love the way the shadow hides the identity of the figure, almost as if it is irrelevant who this is, and the only thing that matters is the freedom that is achieved in this second you captured in this photo.
So here's another

this series is wonderful
i love the way he jumps, it looks wonderful and works well with the description. for some reason i associate these jumping naked cloth carrying persons to children, their imagination and ability to "fly" and believe. and run around naked and enjoy every moment of it. i wish i could do that too.. maybe next summer i will

That is a very interesting style, and quite inspiring. Are you a photographer by trade, or a hobbyist?

thank you for leaving a comment
I'm strictly a hobbyist. This was shot with a 300$ compact 3.1 mp camera.

i really enjoyed this piece - i saw it at school and had to wait till i got home to view it. It just made me laugh watching this nude guy with the cloth behind him jump into the air. I think catching the whisp of sand at his foot made the shot infinitely more interesting. the lack of face and "wang" make it much more effective as well - i think the intense emotion of the shot would have been lost being able to see it (unless he can get a crazy ass smilish look on his face)
awesome job - i envy you!

Love the way the sky looks like a wall, and just how everything has an original - and great - look.....

Nice....very unusual, very unique, and very compelling. I especially like the way the entire front of the figure is obscured. And I like that the sky seems to have a sort of texture, giving it a little more surrealistic feeling. Great piece of work.

it just reminded me one quote:
"given birth to creep cannot fly" - M. Gorky (hope i translated it right)
ok... it was a joke 
but really, i think it's very positive photo - gives us some faith
of course your background and colour effects are also amazing

That gradient map worked perfectly. Makes it even more dramatic.
I'm sure "he will crash" even with faith.
It's an interesting concept and a great photo. A pleasure for the eyes and the mind. Mine, just love it.

what a sweet, sweet capture!! And you got your inspiration back!
This is really really well done, i love the color tone, i love the dust kicking off from the ground (wish my cam could catch that kinda thing lol it'd just be a big ol blur on mine), and the thought behind it is AWESOME.

No, inspiration has not returned actually.. This is an old photo, from last summer actually. In desperation to submit something I had to dust off the photo-archive
