This is one I captured on the west coast of Scotland, at a Red Kite 'feeding station' using venison as bait.

Love the high key look and the look back pose. This one is about those looks.

Love the dynamic pose and the sharpness!

I am never happy if I have white or grey sky as the background but there are situations where it is inevitable. But in this case due to nice details and active pose, I think image overall works quite well. I think you have done PP quite well to tame the shadows.

Unlike Jay, I love white skies for flight :) There are never any shadows and a good EXP like the one you have here, allows for great underwing detail. In addition, the bird gave you a killer pose. The tail is a bit ragged but at least it is not banded :)

Sweet shot here William. Nice dynamic pose and well exposed. I like your crop as well. I would add a couple of points of black to the neutrals and blacks as the bird looks a touch thin to me. I find that is almost always necessary when shooting in that kind of light.

Thanks for that . Much appreciated..
