Congratulation to Huw Fairclough with this image entitled 'Flying without wings'.

Huw tells us about the image ''Flying without wings was taken on a skiing holiday in Austria 18-01-2012.. I was using a a Sony A580 with a 18-200mm lens at 27mm…
The skier looks as if he is flying high but in fact he is only a few feet off the ground, I adopted a low position lying on the ground to give a sense of height. The camera was used on shutter priority @1000 of a second to freeze frame the action. What also helps this image, is the vibrant colours of the skier. My son was getting more air and moves but because he was wearing brown, he did not stand out so much.''
