One from this morning, was hoping for sun but the weather man lied :argue: So decided to go for a moody image not sure if it has worked, taken on a valley in the Chilterns hence why it is almost eye level. Any c&c appreciated.

40D 1/800s f/6.3 ISO250 400mm monopod

Would love to be able to see this larger.... I like the composition and the typical 'stern' look from the Kite, I wonder if a slight lift of the contrast would improve it a tad?

Works for me, a nice angle of flight, has been captured. As for the weatherman 'to err is human, to forgive is Divine' :smile: :wink:

Thanks, will experiment with the contrast. It looks a lot better big so have posted a link above.

Hi Liam,

The larger version does indeed look better, nice one.

Nice shot, really nice comp and love the outstretched 'fingers'. A boost in contrast might make it even more moody. :toast:
