Pretty nice to see this capture with the wing spread pose of the red kite Colin, sharpness on the kite looks fine but it seems that you have tried to bring out the detail under wing in post processing, showing up of noise on that area becomes a side effect after. Good luck on your next shot.

Cheers.......Edwin

Hi Colin. Great capture of this bird and his pose, well seen. Maybe only I would prefer to try to reduce a little this space in down part of photo as well as try to add a little bit more sharpness. Regards, Michal.

Hi Michal thanks for taking a look and for the good suggestion. As I said to Robert, I must have forgotten to sharpen this before uploading - Appreciate your feedback on this one as always - cheers Colin

Nice catch Colin. Great colour and exposure on this graceful bird. Just a shame as it doesn't look that sharp - not sure if its heavily cropped or shutter speed not quite there. Regardless you deserve a thumb for getting a lot closer to one of these than I ever have! Cheers Rob

Hi Robert thanks for taking a look and for the good suggestion - it looks quite sharp in PS on this monitor - must have forgot to sharpen this before uploading. Appreciate your feedback on this one - cheers Colin
