Juvenile Bhraminy Kite

[supreet.sahoo]

One of the many facets of birding around cities in India include the opportunities to shoot some local and more regularly found raptors which exhibit day to day survival tactics if waited patiently. While waiting for the pied kf to dive in for a fish we heard this guy roar through from the left side, swoop for the fish and glide away! All in a days work i guess. Criticism appreciated.

Good shot, excellent eye contact, could have centred a little bit ...

Lovely capture!

[Karl Egressy]

Nice action shot, love the fish and trailing water droplets.

Your exposure is spot on and good for you for thinking fast enough to capture this action. Birds looks great against the blue background. Love seeing the fish and water droplets. About how much of a crop is this image please?

Besides the less than desirable wing position, this one looks great. The colors, details and the exposure all look good and the fish in the talons with the water splash looks great. I would clone the bit of primary intersecting the beak. Well done
