Hello everyone, hope you all had a good Christmas and santa was kind to you...

This was a difficult image to get, not least because the Kite didn't want to get into 'my' perfect position, but also the vanishing light. And so this will have to do for now. It's about 80% of full frame for comp. I hope you like it as much as I do.

LARGER

Happy New Year :wavey:

Certainly do Like it as much as you do Des, the surrounding habitat makes it a wonderful winter image.

Very much - I love these type of images. Might also work as a panoramic.

Works for me too Des, I think Philip's words describe it perfectly, it's a superb image of a Kite in it's enviroment.

YES! Small is good!! We need more landscape in images - this is really really nice and has BAGS of atmosphere. Love it!

It all works for me, the deep snow on the Welsh hillside, the position of and light on the kite, really good stuff.
