A very nice image, Jim. I like the soft foggy look to the light. Very sharp with a good pose and composition. If it was mine, I would consider cloning the one stem sticking up from the right.
Very nice composition Jim, Love the bird, nice colors, pleasant background.. I would suggest cloning out the little stem on the lower right of the frame, and the thick green arcking one at the bottom...
Congrats...:D
Hey Jimmy,
I'm glad to see the fog lift there! The light was shot by the time it lifted in Lakeland.
What a beautiful subject. I like the placement in the frame and the head angle.
The light is awesome and the image is nice and sharp.
It looks a little over-saturated on my (new Dell) monitor.
I love the vertical cattails the Kite is perched on, however IMO the curved horizontal cattail is a distraction and detracts from a otherwise outstanding image.
I love the eye and the head turn here. The red colored eye is a magnet. The bent over reed is a bit distracting. It could go or stay, it's your to decide. These snail kites are something I have to see in person. Maybe a trip with you is in order when come down.
