Kite
Unfortunately my positioning of the bird in the frame on this was poor and the bottom of the image is the bottom of the frame so no space below it.
500mm lens
1/3200 @f6.4
iso 250
cropped for composition.

I'm sure with a bit of photoshop trickery you'd be able to add the extra space on the bottom. Looks good as is to me though. :toast:

Not easy to position them in the frame when they are flying is it? I wish I had a pound for every sharp picture I have where half the bird's body is out of the frame :biggrin: . I think you have done well here, and Simon is right, with this shot you could easily add a bit of extra canvas at the bottom.

Great shot. I like it as it is. No extra space needed I think. Th ebird has enouhg space to fly ahead.
