Why does this anonymous person keep calling me Jano? Thank you, Sharon. This one didn't have any rigging in it, just a lot of cross wires and a giant light post with multiple heads. I prefer this shot as well. ~ Lonnit

Wonderful, Lonnit! It's funny, I came upon "High Rider" first and was going to write you a long comment about how for this challenge it might work better without all the steel and rigging. But before I wrote it I clicked here to find that you had the same idea already and carried it out beautifully. For this topic, I really do like this "edited" version much better, the bulbs across the top are an especially nice touch. Good work! ~Sharon

Thanks, Techo. Yes, I felt the line of lights was essential to the composition. It adds much interest. ~ Lonnit

Awesome! what a neat shot of an amazing acrobat. Really like this one best of the two, with the simple composition yet I like the top line that goes across. Fills in what would've been negative space, quite nicely. -Techo

Thanks, CJ. This he had no problem with, he fell, and caught himself, when he was jumping rope. There was nothing but asphalt below! ~ Lonnit

Great entry for the topic Lonnit - talk about delicate balance! Nice comp and great color too. CJ

Thanks Aam. I had to remove a whole bunch of support wires, lampposts, etc., leaving only the essentials. Your comment now justifies the effort. :) ~ Lonnit
