Hi everyone, apologies for my absence the past month we were photographing and researching areas for photo tours in Thailand and my laptop went down. The trip was focused on raptors and this was one of the species I really wanted to get some good images of.

Superb detail wingtip to toe, Nate. This should make an awesome large print.

Vertical crop really works well on this raptor. Very sharp. Color and contrast seem spot on.

Nice wing position Nate. I like the lowered talons (assuming this was taken just after take-off) and downward angle of the Kite.
