    Default White-tailed kite

    Revisiting my WTK collection, this one from 2013 was one of my favorite frames.

    I can see why it is one of your favorites. Perfect take-off moment.
    I love the clear red eye, the full up wing position and the diagonal simple perch. A different POV - slightly downward.
    Tack sharp, whites look great.
    Very nice BG. I like the hint of blood on the talons.

    You can't ask for a better take-off wing position. Perfect techs, good perch and BG.

    Perfect take-off pose, great exposure, background. In fact all is just about perfect, although I could imagine a version with a bit more room on the left.

    An absolute cracker! If you have more room for the bird to fly into it would lift this shot even more.

    Awesome!! Thats my kind shot Arash. Love the take-off pose and the killer details and exposure. A cool perch and a killer BG make this one a real solid frame for sure. One of your better Kite frames IMO

    That's one killer image Arash. Excellent full wings up pose and beautifully processed. I have really enjoyed the series of this bird you have shared over the years.
