Black Kite- Milvus migrans

Black Kite taking off from a lakeshore.
Canon EOS1000D; Canon 75-300 III USM

Nice upward stroke of the wings. The eye contact is also fine. It is moving parallel to the photographer so it is nice. Looks like it just took off from a mound. Thanks for sharing.

Nice image.Wingspread and flight-path look nice. Prey catching claws have been documented so well. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Lovely flight shot. Good details and eye contact. I agree with the above comments. I feel a more rectangular framing than a square one would enhance the composition further. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful image Ragoo, agree with the comments made. Well done to capture this moment. I feel there is a slight tilt from right to left if you look at the river edge in the background. You can get that corrected. Correcting the tilt would also correct the angle of flight of the bird.

Thanks for sharing !

great freeze...also the light and exposure is almost perfectly finished...gives the photograph an overall pleasing quality
