What a shot, well worth the dizzyness. What did you learn from the earlier shots ? I am guessing its pretty hard to keep the camera from bouncing about too much.

Thanks

do you really think it was my original idea...

very well done. i love the colors, expression, light !
Posted 34 months ago. ( permalink )

shoothead says:

Haha,

@phitar - Reminds of of a book I read once that starts with "Nothing ever begins...", then goes on to say how no thought is original, it all derives from something. My mom likes your pic better phitar... Arghh...

All - thanks so much for commenting, faving, all that. This is currently my most favorite picture that I have ever taken!!!

See phitar's version for what inspired me.

zen granny says:

Not true Lee. I did not like Phitar's picture better. What I did like better on his picture is the earth in the background-kind of like the girl may just spin right off the edge of the world. I did love that! I do love your picture for the sheer joy on Charlotte's face and I like her striped shirt. She looks like she thinks she is flying.
