A very interesting idea and one that I think works well. Good to see a different concept.

TFS.

Touch of class.
You've managed the gradation of the jump beautifully. Technically excellent and obviously very marketable.
If you wanted to go closer to perfection I think a couple more frames after touchdown would really seal it.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your comments..
To John: I have shots after touchdown but it's "nose-down" in the grass so that's why i did not include them. Personally i would have loved to have 1 or 2 shots prior to the first one of the jump.

greetings,

Jeroen

Hi Jeroen,

I like this concept and you did well with everything besides what you mentioned: an approach frame or two would be very nice.

Cheers,
Marko

Hi Jeroen, the versatility of the 1DX comes into it's own, nice one. :toast:

Good spot to deploy the multi exposure, was this with AF highlighted?
