    Killer BKGR and pose. Is this an immature male? Love the tail. Only bummer is the worn plumage, especially the tail feathers.

    Yet another shot to learn from and enjoy. I note your choice of crop. I'm pleased by your BG and appreciate your sharp, well-exposed kite in action.

    Very well executed Alan, great pose and the BKG really separates the subject very well.
