This KF was sitting on a wire and I was trying to get a little closer and pick up a good image with my Canon 55-250 IS lens.Suddently the KF was falling nose first to the hard ground below!Somehow I clicked and got this image.The KF didnt hit the ground and injure itself as I expected but regained balance and flew off....May be it was trying to catch a fly.

Cropping is done on 3 sides.Then auto levels in Photoshop.Slight increase in saturation.Camera was in the auto mode.

You can post an image of 800 pixels on the longest side and file size not exceeding 200kb.

Nice pose. I think it was trying to catch something, but missed and hence diverted.

The diving pose is nice. Some more space on right and in the bottom would have been good. Thanks for sharing.

The action portrayed in the image is nice. I would have preferred you keep more space on the right of the image for giving room to the KF (;) a sick UB Pun, couldn't resist it) to dive into. Agree about posting a larger image. Thanks for sharing.

It's difficult to comment without knowing the EXIF details.
