Good flight shot even though the kite is fairly small within the frame. Interesting to see the habitat and that apple snail in the claws looks to be a big snail. Nice job in getting this flight shot.

Nice shot of this kite Thomas. I like the bird with snail and the included habitat. Having the water up top enhances this image IMO.

Nice habitat shot, Thomas. Perfect pose - capturing one with a snail is great.
I notice some noise in the background on the larger version. Not sure how much of a crop this is, but if you could, a tighter composition would enhance this image.
