Hi Richard,
I figured out how exciting must be to shot at one of this birds.
You managed to catch a very good image of this one, in which we can observe the interesting and rich pattern of its feathers.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Hallo Richard
Another technique I would like to accomplish one day in the far far far future. I admire the photographers that are able to take a successful bird in flight photo. This Whistling Kite's wingspan and feathers are so impressive. The detail of the patterns is remarkable and the colour fantastic. This surely is a majestic bird, showing of well against the blue and white background. I agree on what you say about the wonder of digital technology. I would never have started to even try my hand at photography if we had to make use of film and developing photos. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards
Anna

Hi Richard

Great POV and action shot. Good detail and exposure too. I find these shots really hard to achieve.

Hello Richard,

Glorious shot of this whistling kite in full spread flight against the stunning sky. I like the texture and details from underneath creating an artistic image with excellent sharpness and clarity. Very well captured and nicely presented in vertical format. Well done and thanks for sharing.

That's a great in-flight shot Rick. You captured a great spread of his wings. Very good composition too as you left him somewhere to go. I did a WS to see if I could brighten his underside some. Hope you like it.
