    A brahminy kite enjoys a snack in mid-air. Guess he/she was too hungry to wait till he/she landed.

    A nice pose with interesting behavior. The underwings and the under-tail coverts need to be brightened. Some NIK Detail Extractor and Tonal Contrast at reduced opacity would really help. The prey too needs to be opened up.

    Is this a vertical original or a crop from a horizontal? a

    ps: if you need help with the above let me know.

    Thanks for the feedback Artie. This was shot horizontal, I cropped it vertical for presentation. I hope the vertical is better here.

    Beautiful flight shot. They, most of the kite eat in the air. Nice composition.
    Nice advice by Arthur Sir.

    Regards,
    Satish.

    The vertical presentation is very nice. You just need to learn to open up the dark shadows... a
