Hang on to that planet!

.
Okay! I admit it! I manipulated this image! I did rotate it through 180 degrees but I couldn't help myself! I liked the way the shadow looks like Superman holding desperately onto planet earth...perhaps to keep it from hurtling out of the solar system!

The young woman doing the handstand in the middle of a downtown green-space was full of the joys of spring. She wasn't really hanging onto the planet in quite the way this photo would have you believe but she did have a firm grip on life!

Hope you are enjoying yourself as much as she was on this Shadow Shot Sunday.

  4. It's a wonderful shot, but I can't look at it too long or it makes me dizzy!

  5. I have often been tempted to manipulate in this way, or to flip horizontally. If it works and adds to what you want to say, then do it!

  15. I guess I'm able to post on your blog. It's been trying, not being able to tell others about their smart photos, like this one. Happy SSS!
