Judges' comments:
Very interesting activity; like the yellow against the blue; chutes in various stages of opening; could crop bottom and right; the people are a very small part of the image
Maker's notes:

While staying at Homestead AFB in Florida this past January I was able to take many photos of the U.S.Army Golden Knights Parachute Team making their jumps. This photo I took as the team members were jumping from the plane. Note the two team members just leaving the plane. One on the left parachute partially opening and the one on the right barely visible coming out of the plane and parachute hasn't opened yet. I used my 70x300mm lens hand held for this photo.One of the members who's parachute is fully open is a young man from Holmen,WI. We have become friends during our stays at Homestead AFB.
