Another Kite
Yet another Red Kite from one of those days I rarely seem to get ie. when things go right and I come away with more images than I thought. I have been trying to vary the images and really wanted to include as many with the ground in as I could. Although this has the bird quite small in the frame I liked the way it is positioned aginst a brighter piece of sky and for me highlights the birds effortless flight.
500mm
1/3200 @ f6.3
iso 250
tripod.

I like the composition here, with just the right amount of hill to indicate the bird's environment. There is a slight halo visible on my screen, mainly showing under the kite's belly.

Love the composition here Robert, and the way his eye seems to be fixed on the ground below. A bird on a mission :smile: Nice one.

Goodcomposition, and I love the open beak :wink: :toast: Must be even better printed out large! :toast:

p.s. I see no evidence of a halo on my screen.

Nice composition..., much prefer this type of shot with a bit of landscape like you have included in the shot.
