Hallo Richard
Time is little, but I cannot pass without leaving my comment and appreciation for this beautiful photograph. This is just such an elegant and proud looking bird. The frontal view in which you captured it displays the lovely white chest and head feathers in such a way that one cannot but admire it. A neat looking bird captured in a lovely pose.
Kind regards and thanks for sharing.

So that is it Rick, life comes around to one life around sometimes...wondeful shot of the Brahminy Kite...the eye is attractive and creates a beautiful contrast againt the white plumage. I guess the light tuned a bit too harsh on the subject though...
TFS & Cheers

Hey Rick, you must be becoming familiar to him, for him to start coming in closer like this, or maybe he's upset your not chasing him. You've caught him in an excellent pose on that dead branch. The blue behind him really sets off those white feathers of his. Colour is excellent, very natural looking and you've captured very excellent detail on this bird. Love that eye.

Thanks, John

This Kite is elegance incarnate, Richard.
Very good POV from which the bird looks at its best.
I like the blue sky behind it. Makes the subject stand out very well.
Hope you are much better now.
Regards.

What a beautiful bird. The coloring is simply breathtaking. The composition works so well, especially the blue sky contrasting with the colors of the birds. The POV and DOF are perfect. Wonderful shot though; I'm envious.

Rick,

What an awesome looking bird! The white feathers are beautiful - something you don't really see on our birds of prey too often. You've done very well here even though you were shooting a white / dark bird in full sunlight. That's never easy. TFS, and hope you'll feel better soon.

Best Regards,

Martin

Hi Rick,
This is an impressive bird! I would have been very glad to have met him... It's not the kind of subject which is easy to expose with those contrasted colors and even is his head is slightly over exposed, the rest of the bird show nice details and agreeable tones of colors. This blue sky makes it stands out nicely. Well done!
