    Hi,
    What a treat to have the opportunity to photograph these birds as long as they are here! Here is a one that favored me landing with a scream yesterday! Hope you like it as much as I do!

    Excellent Snail Kite that this Florida Boy has never seen in real life before. Thanks for posting a fabulous sharp image as this. bf
    The viewfinder is my guidance.

    Quite excellent. I am fine with the framing. You might try de-SATing the red iris a bit.

    Hi Michael,

    I'm glad you took my advice and posted the image. As I told you looks a little over sharpened but an excellent image. Nice meeting you all you folks and thank you for the support to BPN.

    I like the framing, but it looks a touch light to me. Perhaps just my monitor, it is not calibrated. Love that pose. You captured a beauty! :)
