This is brilliant. It really does feel like he is about to drop into the sky. Beautiful colours and lighting.

I agree with a comment above that while it is an amazing shot, it looks better right side up. It is amazing that he is standing on the one hand and the saturation, and contrast is wonderful.

Well.. I really like the context.. it's a very special picture...!!
I wish sometimes I could fall and breeze into the endless seeming sky...
especially.. when the sky reflects on the attic and it seems I could climpb into my window and fall down into the sky..

Damn thats cool.
For me the color seems a little off, a little dark perhaps. Also the shadows on the kids legs seem strange, but otherwise, dude, thats such a cool concept.

Great concept. I like how a simple flip can make an image so different. The long grass and shape of the figure makes it look like he's really hanging on.

It's a nice concept, amazing what a simple change in perspective can do for a photo
The only thing I would suggest is investing in a gradual neutral density filter. I noticed that you use a D70 - you can easily put a Cokin P series holder on the front of your lenses that will allow you to use the rectangular shaped P filters. They are dark on the top, and clear on the bottom (the P120 and P121 would interest you the most). They allow you to control the light of the sky, while properly exposing detail on the ground. In this case they would have provided you with more detail in the clouds while brightening up the detail in the grass / on the person. It makes for a balanced exposure, something closer to what our eyes are able to resolve in real time
I'm suggesting this because you have a lot of sky shots with highlights that are a little too strong. Another option you have is merging two shots together in Photoshop CS / CS2. Take one shot that gives a proper exposure for the ground and one shot that gives a proper exposure for the sky - the merging process is pretty straight forward when using multiple layers and you'll walk away with more detail and stronger colours

The shot/color is nice. But I like it rightside up more. The concept is cool but my brain just dosn't buy the picture. Gravity betrayed the shot. His body just dosn't look like its being pulled in the direction that it should. Overall it's nice though.
