Excellent series...

in #4 did you lighten his head in post processing?

Hi kosin, No I was a little fortunate, it was a day when the kites were particularly active, I had the light (hazy cloud) behind me, and for this shot the kite swooped round, with his face, left body and tail feathers just catching the light.

Wow! In another post I said I was a fan of your landscape work, Les. I see you have are now taking some excellent in flight shots - with a 300mm too. Superb detail and light on these.

I missed these somehow, fantastic shots and always nice to see the upper side of a Kite with that fantastic plumage. Were you in a hide for these or just strolling?
