    Classic flying pose Jon with the bird that looks like it's cleaning it's talons,loads of nice sharp detail,would be well pleased if it was mine.

    Did you get the pm I sent you Jon?

    Wonderful encounter, well captured Jon!

    Subject so preoccupied with cleaning its talons:) Nice detail and colours on the bird, sharpness in good measure, the kite stands out beautifully against the BG. Well framed, great POV, a few speckles in the BG I might be tempted to eliminate but all in all a superb frame and I truly enjoyed viewing, thank you so much for sharing

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    I like the behavior shown, the wing position, the pasture/meadow for a background. Nice capture, Jonathan. Thank you for sharing.

    Great looking details in this one Jon. I like the pose and the good look at it's feet and the eye. Nice rainy BG and I like the comp too. Nice capture

    I like this action shot of the Kite, maybe a tighter crop would show the behavior a little better
