Hey Paul, What lens? What body? Nice red eye. Looks pretty sharp and the EXP is good. The shadow on the near under-primaries is unfortunate.

Good flight shot, in nice light. I like the red eye, the twig and the slight head turn.

Hey Artie
Are you talking about the dark patch at 2 o'clock from the carpal joint? If so, then that is naturally dark. It's probably why we call them Black-shouldered Kite Down Under.

These guys can be quite confiding at times, though I agree, 400mm is rarely enough length. I hope you can get closer soon.
Flying slightly away from you in this case is not ideal.
Looking forward to the next shot! :)

No. I was referring to all of the primaries. They do appear somewhat in shadow but on a second look I might be wrong. Either way, opening them up a bit would help the image. Or not :)
