High diving acts, trapeze acts, lion tamers and other death-defying feats all entered my mind, but for some reason I went with this. Maybe because it had additional degrees of danger and adventure over and above the former choices. You know like turning up the amp to 11 when all the others go to 10.

I really like the way you did this! The composition and the “energy” is excellent.

Great stuff, Detlef. I think that I saw these stauchons when I was in Canberra last week but the weather was nothing like this

Holy crap that’s cool ! I wish I’d thought of that! Great feeling of drama here, nice foreshortening on the kite string. Great illustration !

I’m ditto on Steve’s comment there. It’s great, the black night, the perspective and the drama. It really does go with your other work. They all remind me of 1940 black and white movies - Hitch of course.

There is a Hitchcock feel to this! Daring black and white suspense - sublime like.

Oh no! Hate to be the person on the other end. Love the atmosphere - such a wonderfully dark and forboding feel to it. Nice work.
