My apologies to all bird lovers, but this shot does not actually feature any birds...

I must admit that I didn't notice this pic on my first pass through on Sunday last...
When i look at it now it looks pretty damn good to me...

The CPL did a good job on the surrounding clouds...

No - that's the tail of the kite... I haven't added anything to the image...

Now I look at it on my work LCD monitor - the picture doesn't look all that great after all... :-(

Leek, this would look pretty cool if the clouds were desaturated but leave the kite in colour.

The clouds look quite ominous to threaten the fragile kite and produce a very in depth pic ;)

Leek,

Or should I call you Benjamin :roll:

Did you get ya key back. :lol:

Mic. :wink:

Nice, but I would have liked a bright red kite a bit closer in with a polarized deep deep flip frog sky behind it though.

I've come back to this a couple of times and finally feel ready to comment. The image as it stands doesn't grab me because the red kite fills too little of the frame. I think it's good conceptually, but needs tighter cropping on the top and the RHS
