Udai,
Lovely wing spread. Would love to see one flying past you with both the wings completely up or down.

Thanks, Sabyasachi. The problem with these kites is that they are forever gliding! I hardly see them beating/flapping their wings. Only when they dive and have to climb up to catch the thermals do I stand a chance to catch them with flapping wings.

I love the composition. the diagonal span on the wings makes it look huge (which it is )

Udai,
You have made tremendous progress in a very short time. That made me to wish a completely up or down stroke in the wings. May be at a different place rather than your balcony?

Thanks Sabyasachi. I'm benefitting from the tips and advice from seasoned photographers like you, Rakesh and others here. :D
