What I love about this is the composition - you've captured the sheer excitement of the moment of coming off the pogo stick, that moment almost of horror at the possible consequences "But I'm gonna do it anyway!" Good capture.

 

The thing I don't like is the unnatural look to it - like those so-called HDR shots I hate so much. It gives the finished picture a slightly cartoonish quality, but that may have been what you aimed at?

Thanks Mrwall.

 

 

Thanks Chris.  I am not one for HDR myself anymore.  Yeah its a cartoonish look i like.  I acheive it by adding a inverted surface blur, reduce noise and high pass filters and a lot of dodge and burning.
