My first shot with my new 300d. Pleasant supprise for me - more of a suprise for the guy up there! You dont see many B+W Photos on 'Steves Digicams', is there any reason for that?
Any tips or comments are more than welcome.

Hi Mealers. I can't answer the question about lack of B&W's. Good photograph. I like the composition. It's really good. Just a shame you missed the top of the shoot (is that the correct term?).

Right term Ferny, wrong spelling, chute like parachute. Your also right about it being a great shot. I like b/w shots, but I think this one might have worked better in color since most parachutes have great colors. Or maybe just the chute and rider in color and the rest in b/w. Just my $.02 take it for what its worth.
