Another Mississippi Kite from my front yard. Sorry, but this is so easy. I sit a chair on the front lawn, grab a cup of coffee and wait for the fun to begin. Happens every morning. Processed with Lightroom, Photoshop and Lightzone. Comments and critiques welcome.

Wow, sounds like a great way to start the day. Wonderful action shot, just so much detail in the feathers, and that eye is great! Hard to believe that the flimsy little branch can support this one.

What's your address? enlightened

Another terrific image. Great pose,tack-sharp, nice eye and interesting branch.Quite tight though - I think I'd add or reclaim some at the top and bottom.
Excellent image!

Excellent detail and good timing. You are lucky to have this activity in your front yard. Maybe a tad more sky on top.

Really cool flight shot. I think it could use a little more room at the top and I would probably clone away the branch that's touching the feather at the bottom. But I really like this picture.

Excellent landing shot, Jerry. Superb detail in the Kite with really nice wing position and I like the angle on the spread tail.
