I wanted to convey a feeling of kite in it's environment. It was overcast and there was intermittent drizzle - some can be seen.

Jonathan was not sure about the sheep, says Wales to me but I could be wrong.Nice detail on the bird and I do like the fact that it is low,very well caught.

That's ok Keith I am expecting mixed comments, I have plenty against the sky but I wanted some to show the countryside - yes Gigrin!

Nice and sharp details on the bird. Not sure about the sheep either, but I can see what you are doing. Interesting.

I like the composition here Jonathan, different and interesting. I am also not too sure about the sheep, it seems to be fighting for attention against the bird, love the rest of the background though. Nice exposure and detail on the kite.
