Nice shot, I like the motion in this! The angle with the sky as background is very nice too. Good capture!

Great shot! You are great with action. My suggestion would be in the cropping, I would crop out most of the sky around him and have his body in the right of the frame and not so centered like you have it, and more rectangular shape instead of square to really accentuate the length of the body and positioning. And also have the view a bit bigger so we can really see that great detail and lighting you have captured!

Crazy angles. I like the vector lines, leads the viewer into perspective. Maybe you could try rotating the image so that the guy looks as if hes standing straight up, but when people really look at it they can see that he is falling.

Better...I'd chop off a little from the left, and a little more than that from the right, center it or leave more sky to the left, by the feet...it would create motion as tho he has just flown from the great sky, he is facing that way...more sky there.

It's a small-time trick...leave the negative space where the subject is looking.

Then again, critiques are merely opinion, never take them too seriously

I would crop the two frames out on the left and the right, leave only the athlete and the horizontal bar...those frames take away ALOT from an amazing photo. Crop it so it is taller than it is wide.
