This is a gorgeous frame Ann...and a moment I totally missed because I am an idiot!!
What the he** was I doing when this happened?
I love the male's eye and the terrific clean look at both birds.
90% of the kites are banded so I am OK with the bands.
Crop is excellent.
I see a sharpening halo around the birds- that is an easy fix.
cloned some branches, i would clone out the OOF branch in RLC by your signature and probably would clone out the branch in front of the OOF one.
Great soft evening light. I would add a point of black to the image in selective color.
Lots of minor suggestions here but it is a fine frame as is,
