    Default Snail kite with snail

    Another image from Florida trip, we had some tough light to deal with, the BG is the kite's natural habitat, we had hoped for activity earlier in the morning but by the time we got some action sun was almost above us. Nevertheless, I thought I would share this one as well.

    great pose and setting. although it's nice to see the underwing detail, it's a bit too 'recovered' looking for my taste. I'd prefer to see them slightly more in shadow.

    Nice habitat shot and I think the image works well. The underwings look natural on my monitor.

    Arash, excellent habitat shot with good pose and prey. Good to see the eye so well. Couple of blades look very bright...but that's going to be a challenge with dark bird and such hard light.

    Great shot fine detail, I wonder if a little more contrast/linear curve and or a tiny bit less brightness would make it pop just that bit more??

    This is a superb shot considering the harsh light. Underwings look good to me. I like the natural wild environment.

    Very nice environmental shot, Arash.
    I love the pose, the habitat, the prey and especially that eye.

    You did well in the PP on this one Arash...Underwings look natural to me. Nice one!
