    Wow! Love it will. Great banking pose, sharp and detailed. The vegetation on the LS adds to the composition nicely. Would love to see these birds someday...hopefully a trip to Scotland may be possible one day (covid willing!)

    Very good, and the oof tree in LLC adds so much! I'd be tempted to very lightly lighten the eye-socket. Man, those feather patterns are gorgeous.

    Always love your kite images and this one is no exception. Totally agree with Daniel, the tree adds nicely to this canvas. TFS

    Great flight capture, William. Absolutely beautiful light, wing and tail extension, and head position with an intense expression. As Daniel points out, the feather patters are beautiful.

    Sweet flight frame, with perfect head turn and beautiful feathers. The oof landscape puts it over the top.

    the Kite King strikes again!

    Another beautiful composition Will. I like the direction of the subject and the distant tree gives just enough perspective.

    Personally, don't mind the crop. Exposed very nicely and presents fantastically!

    Thanks for sharing amigo
