[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This picture was taken in the evening within Kakadu National Park, located at the Top End of the Northern Territories, Australia.

Whistling Kites are common on Kakadu's billabongs, and give their characteristic calls often while on the wing.

The first stage of Kakadu National Park was begun in 1979 and in 1984 it gained its World Heritage listing and the area achieved international recognition as a cultural and ecological treasure. Today, Kakadu National Park covers 20,000 square kilometres and is home to more than 1,600 species of plant, 60 mammals, 290 birds, 120 reptiles, 25 frogs and 55 fish (many are rare and occur only in Kakadu).
Kakadu's World Heritage status, its recognition as the back drop to Crocodile Dundee, and its controversial uranium mining leases keep the Park in the international spotlight.

Hi Gabi

Interesting shot. I like having both the clear Moon and the bird. Well composed to get both. I would have cropped some from the top to remove the overhanging branches and cloned out what could not be cropped, and some from the bottom to give more emphasis on the Moon and bird. I have done a workshop but got carried away. Hope you like it.

Hi Gabi, nice shot. There is a lot of potential here but as it is it is very hard for the eye to find focal points, I think Pam's WS shows a very good idea for the shot. I do like it though, it has a nice atmosphere. Well done.

Hello Gabi I like it as is, it gives that extra atmosphere just as if I was there also.
