A low flying kite ...

Avatar · 22nd February 2004

Just a little while before my fellowship of B.F. infected photogs call it a day, a single, low flying raptor decides that it should give yours truly one last shot of itself against our rarer than the kites themselves blue sky today ...

... and its blue-tailed bee crunching friend, the Blue-tail Bee-eater

For your critiques and viewing pleasure

yup, the blue sky makes all the difference. you have good underwing detail for the Kite... was it taken in late afternoon when the sun was lower or did the bird just turn at the right time?
