    Fantastic pose, bg and sharpness/details. I see some noise in the bg though which you can get rid of pretty easily with a good noise reduction software program.

    Great pose, light, details and BG. I only wish for a bit more eye contact.

    Lovely BKGR and love the diagonal position of the bird in the frame. Is this a VERT ORIG?

    ps: I might try to burn the whitest areas of the wing on the bottom...

    I've seen so many great kite images that you really need to do something special to really make one that stands out.... you've done it with this one! The position and background are just killer!
