Hi Johan, good flight pose against a lovely Rietvlei BG. Not easy shooting these guys from a car, and congrats on your new toy.

Beautiful light and bg sky. I like the angle you got on the head flying right into the light

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the sharpness, flight angle, exposure, light and BG. Very well done!

[J van Noordwyk]

Thanks Guys , comments much appreciated !!!!!!! Jip Cheryl the light angle does the trick for me to.

Love the sharpness, the flight pose, composition and nice background. Not sure about the 3D border frame of the image.
Very good job taking this from inside a car, not easy at all.

Johna, this is a lovely image of a juvie Black-Shouldered Kite. Very sharp, good light, lovely BG. I wonder how much of a crop as I see some loss of details.

Nice wing spread. Great to see the top and bottom in nice light The BG. color goes so well with the bird.

Nice flight photo and angle in the frame.
Some off the left would look nice for me.
