      That’s a one in a million setup and photo, nice job! Your friend better use that pic as his profile picture for everything, it needs to be appreciated. lol

      There must be a behind the scenes video of this shot! If not I call fake. I would love for me to be wrong because, if real, this would be a killer shot.

      That’s fucking crazy you need to make this an album cover congrats on a once in a life time photo

      I want to believe this is real so fckn bad but I just dont get how you would be able to get the crispness of the sun so high, the sharpness on the diver and not have the sun blow out the light/photo on everything else. Not to mention capuring the photo as he transits the sun at hundreds mph. If its multiple photos overlayed it would make sense but a 1 photo single idk.

      I’ve seen this photo all over Reddit recently. Not at all upset about it. This better get the recognition it deserves

      This has got to be one of the most amazing photos I’ve ever seen in my life! I’m flabbergasted, I can’t think of the right words..

      OP, I say this with my whole hear please reach out to Displate and get this made into one of their limited edition textured posters.

      This is one of the most incredible images I’ve ever seen in my entire life. If I were that, dude, I would blow this picture up so huge and put it on the wall in my house. Even better I’d put a billboard in my front yard and put this picture on it. And also have Learning To Fly by Pink Floyd playing 24 hours nonstop.

      I love the photo’s title as well, Fall of Icarus – how beautiful how it blends science, art and history.

      In before this reaches thousands of up votes 

      That is insane, tell people it’s the first man to approach the sun.
