[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In one of my previous posts, I had a photo of a Brahminy Kite, which I took from quite a distance, so it didn't turn out really well. Then yesterday, I had the chance to take some shots of another Brahminy Kite in a different location, the Kholo Botanical Gardens, north of Ipswich. This time the Kite was in mid-air and I managed to get this shot of it.
The Brahminy Kite is also known as the Red-backed Sea Eagle.

beautiful backlight in the wings, nice exposure control. Just a tag soft, nevertheless an excellent effort.

J'aime beaucoup le mariage du bleu du ciel avec ce magnifique oiseau. La transparence des ailes convient parfaitement à ta compositon.

Hi Claudia

Sorry to say my time is limited again today, so this is just a quick critique. Very good work. I like the POV. Colours are great as is the sharpness and detail. Well done. Thanks.

Claudia:
Nicely captured shot of a beautiful bird. I'm slightly puzzled by the overall softness - have you used "Neatimage" or noise reduction on the shot? I've done a quick workshop to adjust the "levels" histogram (to bring out shadow detail) and a little USM. Hope you like..
Regards, Nigel.

Beautiful shot. I like the light in the back of the wings in contrast with the blue.
