Sid:

Nice pose, colors,dangling feet. Overall exposure nice, might try a bit of a linear burn or multiply on the warmish whites by base of the tail.
To my eye, the face looks a bit soft compared with some of the wing detail.

Cheers

Yep. May be a round of sharpness and tail work. Thanks Randy.

excellent exposure and pose Sid! agree on another round of slight sharpening...did you capture this as a vertical in-camera or crop that way?

[Tony Whitehead]

Great flight angle and underwing plumage details, Sid. Wondering about a sliver off the top to raise the kite in the frame a little.

Wonderful image and bird. Lovely light.

[Arthur Morris]

Loverly wing position. Hand held of course? Nice angle to the bird and a perfect head position to go with it.

Lovely wing position Sid just need another round of sharpening

Sid, like the vertical comp a lot. Terrific wing position and bird angle.
