Aerobatics, no nets, no nonsense.

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Aerobatics, no nets, no nonsense. Just a crazy person hanging by some white ribbons off a crane.

The first two were taken around midday with a 70-210mm lense.

These next two give a bit more of a sense of height, taken with a 28-70mm lense. They were taken at a later show around 4:30pm.

She was very talented, and strong. I think she would have beat me in an arm wrestle. Touring Australia originally from the USA hence the two flags.

C&C welcome, I am not a big fan of the landscape one showing both flags but I included it to show the overall setting.

Enjoy!

Insane stuff - love the last pic.

Also I thought it was acrobatics? Aerobatics is stuff you do in/with a plane

Come follow the rabbit hole...

Amazing stuff.
IMHO they would all be better without the flags or any of the BG stuff, IMHO they distract from the shot.
I suppose that seeing the height she was working from gave it a real sence of drama, it would be great to see that in one of the pictures.
Great colours.

I've got a camera, it's black. I've got some lens, they are black as well.

You are right it's acrobatic's technically, she simply called herself the aerial circus so I guess I took aerobatics out of that. Appreciate the comments, the ole D70 still going strong.
