This photo is hot! Share it!

This is one of my first pictures, and in my opinion one of my best. :)

Also, on DA I got a lot of comments about how I should cut some of the black off, but it doesn't look balanced with out it, so it's staying. It would work if she had jumped higher, but she didn't.. so it's staying like this.

What a beautiful shot!
The lighting of the sunset is awesome.
And the modern-day Mary Poppins appears to be jumping out the darkness into the light, perhaps trying to follow the sun below the horizon.
Just stunning!

Yes, there may be a bit of the black space but it works perfectly. She looks like she's blending into the abyss. I love this picture. Hope you get published. It'd be a great bonus!
