Hi Isak!

What a beautiful background to nicely frame your Kite. Terrific action!

[Manos Papadomanolakis]

I Iove the colors of the BG and wings position!

[David Hemmings]

Fantastic pose, bg and sharpness/details. I see some noise in the bg though which you can get rid of pretty easily with a good noise reduction software program.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great pose, light, details and BG. I only wish for a bit more eye contact.

[Arthur Morris]

Lovely BKGR and love the diagonal position of the bird in the frame. Is this a VERT ORIG?

later and love, artie

ps: I might try to burn the whitest areas of the wing on the bottom...

[Jody Melanson]

Looks like your wait was worth it. Great BG and also wish for some eye contact....

[Alfred Forns]

Outstanding bird and what a bg !!!!! Love it !!!

[IvoZafirov]

Great picture! Light, pose, background, everything....

[Ian Colley]

They say patience is a virtue, well worth the wait, beautiful image.

[Jim Zipp]

I've seen so many great kite images that you really need to do something special to really make one that stands out.... you've done it with this one! The position and background are just killer!

[Chris van Rooyen]

Lovely underwing detail and killer background. VWD Isak!
