Out of the Storm
Trying to catch up on some processing and have just returned to some of my Red Kite shots from late last year. I wasn't too sure on how to deal with this one but tried dragging a slight gradient across it in Lightroom which seems to have better balanced things and helped the colours in the rainbow.

1D3 300mm ISO:200 1/2500 @ f/4

Thanks for looking

A beautiful image, and to get the kite inline with the rainbow works very well.

Simon, I don't know why you chose to share this version of the shot and not the one you shared on ukBPN but... I like the other one more - not to say that this isn't also fantastic :toast:

Thanks for the comments everyone, much appreciated.

John, I did post the other one a little while back here (just too slow to do so at t'other place). I ignored this one at first pass for some reason, but out of the two think I actually prefer it.

Cheers

Super nice. Have seen some similar shots of peregrines from the states flying through rainbows too recently.
