    Jim, Well timed for the dive, and I like the Kite's diving posture with the swept back wings. Good to see the surrounding enviroment, and the light looks really sweet. I do hope you have the next frame with the kite entering the water.

    Very unique and interesting diving pose, Jim. Love the angle, and full vertical stretch of the wings and legs. Nice work!
