High key Kite

[Lance Peters]

one from a while ago - was setup for something else when I spotted this guy, hence the weird settings - managed to salvage it??

Now that is high key at its highest! I like the colours and pose. Seems like critical focus point was on the back as it seems sharper than the head. Some selective sharpening may bring the head in line. As posted I would crop some below, and perhaps also clone out some of the extra twigs...should be an easy job with the pure white BG!

[Lance Peters]

Daniel - you are indeed correct - only managed the one shot before he took off. :)

[Daniel Cadieux]

Well he was kind enough to give you a great glance-back pose before bolting :-)

High key is a refreshing change. I agree about cropping off the bottom. The twigs don't bother me.

[Tony Whitehead]

Very nice, Lance. I agree about losing a bit from below and think the twig pruning is worth exploring.

Brilliant capture Lance, and the detail in this is absolutely amazing. Another vote to take a bit off the bottom. Congrats.
