Love the pose with the one eye visible. Very nice. The diffused light brings out the detail nicely.

Luverly muted light and pure grace. This crop fits the image perfectly.

Superb in every way. From the soft light to all the wonderful curves to the nice view of the tail and that sublime eye, this is a fabulous image.

with love, artie

Super job Will, love the swoop and curves and that EYE, wowsa!

[Brian Sump]

Kite King strikes again!

Will, just a superb capture. I've never seen a pose like this before.

Even at f4, great job getting sharpness at every crevice of the subject. The slight texture in the clouds really adds.

Nailed this one my friend, fantastic job!

Love this one Will. Dynamic in flight pose, sharp and processed well...got to love that eye and facial expression! I've seen a few videos on youtube where people in the UK have photographed this species. I'd love the opportunity to do that, but alas until we can travel again! Post more!

Love this one.
Great curvy lines throughout the image.
Well done Will!
You are the King of Kites!

Hi Will ... stunning capture !!!
Personally I would reduce the NR amount on the subject , just my take

Good to see you have a nice sharpness , compared to some of your previous postings , just try to mask more precise ....
