Hi Arash, great tonal quality within the wings, whites nicely handled, envious of having great light to shoot in Arash!

I just wonder if loosing the small sprout of branch at the foot of the image may help, WDYT?

Another stunning Kite image -- I'm delighted to see another in the series. Great light, flight pose, comp. I could see losing the bud, but it's just the tiniest nit in a beautiful image.

I'll agree about the small bit of vegetation at bottom but man, all else is top notch. Awesome image.

thanks guys, good idea I will look at losing those branches.

Super shot and awesome exposure on the whites as usual

Any idea what those hook like structures are on the closest underwing?

Hi Arash, well placed in the frame, exquisite light, and I do like the incoming pose with the full wingspread.

Hi Shane,
Thanks, I think they are just misaligned feathers
