Hi Richard. This kind of kite is new to me and I like the natural looking background. The bird's color seems odd- there is a yellow color cast. Pity that there are hot areas and blacks lacking detail. Best regards

Thanks Shawn. The cast may be from the sunrise, shot was taken at 0615.

There does appear to be a slight color cast.....looks a bit green to me but it may be my monitor. A very nice pose and good head turn for the eye contact. What a wonderful BG.....smooth and great color. The lighting from the side may not be the best but the head and beak are well lit with a catchlight. It would be helpful to have more techs listed and a larger sized image to view.

Thanks Lana.

Being my first post on this Web site I didn't want to go too big especially given the high quality of photoes being shown by others.

EXIF is also available within the shot.
