Please look at my previous shot for more details about this beautifull bird. Taken near Ibstone village the Chilterns. Please look at the two other shots for comparison

PIC 2 another view

PIC 3 another view

I had another go at adjusting the RAW to get better colours and detail hope this ones better

PIC 4 SAME PIC different RAW settings This is much better I think? how do you replace the main version with this one any ideas?

Although it seems a bit over-sharpened to me, the detail of the kite's feathers does stand out well, and I like the way you isolated the bird against the background of blue cloudless sky.
While I like the tight framing, I think a rectangular format would work better than the square one you used. It would have let you leave more space in front of the bird, giving it space to move into in the frame.
Despite these couple of issues I like this shot, and overall I think you've done well.

Cheers,
Ben

Czesc!
Kolejne piekne ujecie w locie. Ten drapieznik robi wrażenie bardzo dużego ptaka i tak pewnie jest. To naprawde piekna fotografia.
Gratuluje!

Hi Necip,
I think you got the older version replaced with the newer one with the repost option. I do have to say that the colors look a lot better. The details in the feathers are very beautiful and the slightly tilted head is wonderful.

Nice action shot, Necip! This one have more details and I think I will chose different way to crop giving more space.

Hi Necip,
I see in your gallery that you are very good in taking in flights shots. This one is also very nice with very good light on the head. Nice crop and good sharpness and colours.

Hi Necip,
Wonderful shot and a fabulous wings span. Very neat and sharp image and against the blue sky as BG looks majestic. Superb lighting and spot-on focus on its eyes. Excellent POV and very nicely composed. Kudos.

Hi Necip, both this and the other Red Kite shots are wonderful. Markings in pic 3 seem more evident but all are good. Focus and sharpness on the face and eyes in this one is excellent. I would be interested to know what your actual focal length was as I am invited to take pics of Red Kites in Oxfordshire, I wonder will my lens manage to capture them? They look great against the blue sky and colours and tones look good to me. All nicely framed.
