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

[Udai Bisht]

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?

Oh... wow......

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