I always love when I see images that blow me away. This pic just takes my breath away. Experimenting with techniques is always fun, but this represents a real mastering of the process. I like the custom white balance to get the blue tones. The architecture and environment are both compelling and disorienting and really help make this image a masterpiece.

The integration of the location, the light painting, the physical action of jumping and strobing, and the concept all come together to make something timeless and obviously carefully crafted.

In other words….Holy Shit!
