Very nice, Ken. I like how the Kite stands out against that blue sky. I also like the smattering of clouds. It gives the image some depth. Well done.

SWEET one, Ken! Love the wing position and open view of the tail, feet, breast and head, and the fluffy white clouds in the beautiful blue sky just make it all the more ridiculous (i.e. awesome).

Looks like he's floating in the clouds and barely working up a sweat staying in the air.
