defying gravity...the fall lifts me up

2011.12.04

Falling, not gliding, jumping or hopping, and neither prancing, strutting nor walking, just... falling and it's smart to land without welts and bruises.
Just loving the late fall in Niihama City!
...
Defying Gravity from the broadway musical "Wicked" based on Gregory Maguire's novel of the same title.

What a wonderful set. My favorite is the first one, for the natural framing. It's really beautiful. I also like #2 for its angle shot and the bench in #11. And of course I like the sensuous curves of the leaf in the last one :)

First of all, I love the paradoxical title. Then, we have a set full of beautiful, details, great DOF work, perspective and colours. But I love the composition and serenity of the 1st one. Well done my friend.

excellent perspectives...and I agree with Tonio (Angil) the paradoxical context of the title blows me away! brilliant post!

These are SO excellent, GTD!! I adore every shot in this set, which has fantastic focus and clever composition! I'm putting #2 in my faves, although I'd like to save them all!

p.s. the last one looks like a cupped hand!

the palm trees throwing brown "leaves" (needles? bark?) are a novelty to me; this and all the other autumn pictures here prove my theory that autumn is one of the most colorful, passionate times in life; maybe even better than lazy-sunshine-summer and everything-blooms-horny-but-stupid-spring. ;-)
