[Colin Knight]

Nice job on a very quick subject. I love the look back! TFS

[Peter den Hartog]

good one Phil!!!

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

pure WOW effect in this one. The light, pose, DOF, sharpness, comp, BG....you hit the check mark on everything in this one. Congrats....terrific shot.

[Troy Lim]

Great shot. Did you use Beamer?

[arash_hazeghi]

very nice Phil, you got the right pose against a nice BG, still in pursuit of kites! I only had a two-hour opportunity one time in the past 6 months to photograph these beauties. whites can go a bit darker for my taste.

[Nico Steenberg]

Great south side capture and eye contact. IMG is sharp and well exposed against a killer bg. Well done !

[Scott Frye]

A pleasure to look at -- love the colors

[Aidan Briggs]

Great exposure, pose, and HA. I love that BG too, though I might try lightening the upper left corner just a tad.

Well Done!!

[Danny J Brown]

Phil - You caught this elusive bird in a wonderful pose with a buttery soft background and it has great eye contact to boot. A real winner of a shot. Good work.

[DanWalters]

Great light and action. Really like the color of the background.

[Chris van Rooyen]

Great posture, light and background! Is this a big crop?

[James Salywoda]

Awesome Phil I really like the look back pose and that bg really makes the Kite pop off the screen.

[Stu Bowie]

Great banking angle, and I like the look back eye contact. Great BG too.

[Hendri Venter]

The posture is great and head angle perfect. Splendid image.
