    Amazing photo (somewhat Martin Parr-ish) of amazing feat! First I noticed the tightrope walker, and the figure in the foreground was just there, with his freckled neck, red hair, ears and cap. Then the looming cloud became apparent, and then the shirt the guy in the foreground is wearing jumped out. Excellent! And the tree and support line provide good balance, echoing the direction of the pole the person up there is holding.
