Very nice. Perhaps a tad soft and I would crop again with a little more room on the right at the expense of less on the left. Otherwise a great pose!!

Sweet shot! I wish we had any kind of kite here in the northeast US.

Hendrix,

This is a very cool capture. It appears a tad soft, but you have caught enough feather detail that I think it is still a very strong image.

Thanks,

I love the position of the bird and the stare he is giving you. Agree with the crop suggestion. Wonderful image.

I am sucker for vertical flight shots, they are different.

Awesome shot. I love the way the head is level despite the body being in a high G turn.

There isn't anything better than a good vertical flight shot....and you've got one here. I really like the straight on look of this guy. Well done!
