really like the setting and light on this one but the composition doesn't work for me here, the contrast between the sunlit birds and dark sky is great though

Hi Phil

Different from the usual very nice - really like the sky as well!

I like this. Everytime a see a post titled Red Kite I always know that when I click on it I'm going to see one in flight against a blue sky...so this was a nice surprise :smile: Central composition works for me, as does the foliage framing the birds. Nice one.
