cool shot, Manjot--I really like the pose and comp. ordinarily I'd prefer more room for the bird to fly into, but I think the shape of the tree and position of the bird work well together for the comp, and the bird heading out of the frame creates some dynamic tension here. looks sharp but hard to judge at this small size.

I agree with Brian's comments. You could probably trim back the shooting data, at least the fields that are entirely blank. It's hard to tell from the small image, but there appears to be a slight halo around the wings as well, possibly a post-processing artifact.

Thanks Brain for valuable comments , Yes I also like to give more room to bird .. I already tracking him for last an hour and wait for its hovering shot . Kite was sit on the tree and always its direction of fly was unpredictable . Now my main concern to took picture sharp as get catch light on bird eye and composition so I got both , If you see large image you can see beautiful catch light on birds's eye. :smile:
