A nice capture indeed. In the larger image the crop is showing a bit in the lack of fine detail, but I would take this image in a heart beat.

Sandy,
You are definitely getting rewarded for your time. Don't you just love these guys? Good angle and light in both eyes. Love the title. Should be doing aerial exchanges by now. Can't wait to see. If you're like me you will be completely addicted to these kites and want to go every day. Sweet.

Nice one Sandy! The vegetation did not fully cooperate, but the pose is wonderful. I agree about the darkness. Some fill light would help.

Good moment captured, Sandy. The critiques have already been mentioned, so I won't echo what the others are saying

. Hope to see some images of baby White-tailed Kites!

Your Kites are wonderful. We are so happy for you. This is a stunning catch. Can't wait to see the progression of these two.
