Got this close up image of a rising Whitetail Kite late in the afternoon in the hills of Fremont CA recently. I thought the dark BG really set it off nicely!

Unique and interesting light Conrad. Very interesting.

Very unique indeed. Would try to lighten up the underwing detail a little more. Nice and sharp image.

I is really unique and interesting.
Great focus as usual and the light and processing is pretty cool.
