In April i am planning another visit to the Red Kite centre in the UK (protection program for Red Kites in the wild) so going down memory lane i went through some of the old files from last time and found this one wich i had not yet processed.

Excellent shot Jeroen! Lovely pose, sharp with excellent detail. If anything maybe a tiny bit on the bright side.

[Paul Lagasi]

Very nice capture, I agree a bit bright, but lovely sharpeness, well done

[Pieter de Waal]

Nice flight action captured Jeroen and very sharp. Like the head turn and eye contact.

[Arthur Morris]

Sharp with a yes, unique pose. Wish that the tail were fully spread. Did you try opening up the shadow a bit?

[Kurt Bowman]
