Yes a difficult one to crop Joe, as the bird is looking right and so should be looking from the left "into" the picture so to speak.
So as Rene says more to the left would help.

Might be my rubbish works monitor, but it looks like your camera has metered off the sky and ended up with the Kite being very dark, I normally dial in 2/3rd to +1stop exposure comp when doing this sort of thing, to help bring up the kite.
I agree with the previous comments. I've had the same problem with ospreys - I end up with a bland sky when the exposure on the bird is right. You should be able to recover some of the shadows hopefully, because the pose is just great.
