Hi All,
Taken down at Carss Park on Australia Day. Breaks all the rules of thirds,etc, but not bad for a Tamron at nearly full extension.

Only PP was a levels adjustment, crop to A4 dimensions and a little bit of USM.

Edit: Just printed up to A4, spotted 4 dust bunnies, glad I'm going to the mini-meet on Saturday :shock:

Nice shot! Handy how the cloud hides the string too, really adds to the look of flying :)

Really nice pic... the composition of the clouds and the saturated colors.

Nice photo indeed John, when it gets windy in Sydney anyone interested in taking some photos of some of my stunt kites? They look a lot less like a fish though!!

if it was any other photo, I'd say it looks too saturated, and too much contrast, but in this shot, it REALLY makes the shot.

great pic!

The colours are great.

Sure, refusal to conform to the rule of thirds, but it conforms with 'Neat and in the middle'. (And it is pointing to one top corner of the frame.)

G'day,
The saturated colors and sharpness of the kite seems to make it just about pop out at you... Good PP for the subject.

Cheers,
Mudder

Johndec - I too like kites and your photo. The clouds really help it.

I missed the clouds in this one.

Now you just need a really tall brick wall!

I heartly agree... a nice brickwall somewhere in the background would have set both these lovely picture off nicely !!!
