    Beautiful collection of Kites, I'm guessing parent and two chicks?
    They are stunning and very well captured, congrats!

    Pretty cool...look at all the perfect head angles :-) The spread wings on the bottom one really adds a nice element to the comp.

    Wonderful looking subjects photographed very well. I know this wasn't a "set up". Looks like the 1.7 doesn't take any quality away when used with the D3. Amazing that all 3 are looking in the same direction.

    Killer, killer, killer. It looks like three juvies to me. The 3 perfect HAs are to die for and the spread wings balances the COMP beautifully. I think that a bit of a crop from the bottom would strengthenn this considerably. At about the top of your signature might be perfect.

    Wow! Lovely light, HA's, and exposure. Great wingspread, and BG. Agree with Artie on the crop, but this is great.

    Lovely family. Arthur's suggestion about the cropping makes lots of sense. Love the three perfect HA.
