The Flight..

Capturing birds has started giving me so much of high :w00t: that i am loving to spend more time on the same.

The image below was shot near a lake very close to my house. To me it looks like a Brahminy kite (sub adult) - would request the members to confirm on this..:confused:

Hi Bhargav,
You are right about the ID. It is indeed a Juv. Brahminy kite. I like the downwing position. If this is a crop then I would like to see some more space up front. Also the sharpness can be increased a bit.
Thanks for sharing.

Superb. I love the down stroke of the wings. Eye contact is good.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Excellent flight shot :thumbup:...

Good light and flight! TFS

Lovely flight image. Liked the low angle and the eye contact. Look forward to more.

Wow! beautiful image Bhargav, the details and eye contact is good. Great capture in-flight, tfs
