I like the eye contact and the diagonal composition.

Nice one, I like the light through the wings, however the work you have done on the head is a little obvious, perhaps just a selection of the area copy to another layer and work on that, I think it will be OK if you don't try to rescue it so much as at the moment it looks an un-natural grey.

Cheers :toast:


Phil I now wish I had left the head a little blown out on the whites instead of messing with it
:rolleyes:

Oy that was my Red Kite and I'm jealous because you got it much bigger in the frame than I did :mad: Like you I was just thrilled at seeing them.

Nice image. Well done. :wavey:
