Red Kite over the Beacons
I managed an hour after work this afternoon to get out on the Brecon Beacons. For a change the lighting was decent and I managed to get a couple of reasonable Kite images.
500mm
1/2000 @ f6.3
iso 250
tripod.

Lovely shot and great detail. Nice to see a Red Kite "in the wild". I wonder about cropping a little off the bottom to remove the pinkish area - just a thought. :wavey: :toast:

Super capture. Pin sharp and loads of detail. I would agree with a slight cropping to remove the pink area also.

Great shot! Wouldn't change a thing and would love to see it bigger.

Very nice indeed Robert and one of the best Kite images I've seen in terms of it's setting and detail captured. Works so well in many ways. I agree about the 'pink' area in the lower left, crop or clone it depending on purpose.
