Well done Adams,
I like the fine sharp details in the under wing, and the wide spread wings...my suggestion would be to crop this into a pano and increase or boost up the high-key background...good show...:cool:
lucky you! they are beautiful creatures. looks like it has something in it's beak already!!!

It is eating a green lizard,
Hi Gus,
This is about a 50% crop already, lately the kites are very active around my house, I will try to get a shot were i don't have to crop so much. I don't like croping more than 20 to 30% of the image.
I like Gus's suggestions, very nicely captured and wish I had kites around here :)
Hi Adams - agree with Gus on the crop and the boost to the BG will make him POP.
Like it - congrats :)
Just get them larger in frame Adams !!! Good exp and detail They are starting to show around our area and picking nesting material !!!!
I like it Adams..Heck I would just like to see one:-) Agree with larger in the frame
Adam -- nice shot. I agree with wanting to see it larger. FYI, the Swallow-tailed kite working group runs a citizen science project to measure STKI breeding range and habitat. If you want to help, you can report your sighting at --

Very nice capture, Adams. Bigger in the frame would be nice but you have good details and even a lizard! Congrats.
Hi Issac,
Thank you for the info.
