Kite take off

[arash_hazeghi]

this image is quite old, but it's one of the closest I have come to an adult kite



shot with 1DX and 600II +TC 1.4X III ISO-1600 f/5.6 at 1/2500 sec hand held processed with DPP 4.20

hope you like it

Beautiful shot Arash. Love the sharpness, exposure on the whites, the eye, and the two-toned BG compliments so well. TFS

[gail bisson]

Very nice Arash.
Love the full wings-up wing spread and the nice BG. Exposure excellent. Tack sharp.
Only wish for a bit more of a head turn our way (did you forget to hang a mouse off your lens hood?:bg3:)

Arash:

Excellent timing, soft light with beautiful exposure, angle of the perch helps add to the sense of motion, action.

I know that it would result in a squarer crop, but I wouldn't mind a bit more space in front for the bird to fly into. I think the sense of action is so strong, the it would easily overcome the effect of a squarer crop.

Cheers

Great pose. Certainly can't quibble about the techs. Love everything about it, except, as Randy suggests, a little tight on the left. You might even trim a sliver off the right (and bottom, if you were trying to avoid the perch going into the corner), and add that amount and a bit more to the left for some flying room. Did I forget to say that I'd be stoked to get this one?

What a stunning take off shot Arash! Love the exposure, techs and sharpness. No nits at all.

[dankearl]

Lovely, maybe a 4X5 portrait crop would work well here..

[Volkan Akgul]

hi Arash, very good as always

I think this is one of your best kite images, the detail in the plumage is really clear.

[John Mack]

Quite nice for sure. Love the full wings up.
