Red Kite (honest) by filsie65

Red Kite (honest)

I was walking along, with camera in pocket when overhead swoops a red kite. Found it really hard to track it and zoom in with the P&S but in the end managed to get a couple of shots without any body parts missing or branches/roofs in the way. My get-pushed challenge this week from Sheralee was to use negative space... does this count?
If so it's a bit jammy - been trying to get a shot of a red kite forever and this was meh in the extreme, did all sorts of etsooi and still have hopes of seeing one when I have my 'viewfinder' camera with me...

Have I told you recently how smashing you are? Well you are! Mwah!
@bella_ss If this is negative space then it's more a matter that I missed rather than scored! Hope to try again intentionally in the week :)

It's great to see red kites back in the skies over bedfordshire - great capture

Fab capture, we have one that is coming tantalisingly close to our house, but just too far for my longest lens..........

Great shot, Phil! I would count this as negative space! I love it!! It is really hard to zoom in on birds when they're flying. Great job :)

I can tell!

So very nice. Flying high and free - lifts the heart.

Pretty colours to your negative space! Is that an eagle or osprey? Not sure what kind of bird predators you have there in England
April 7th, 2014  
ooh, lucky you! and well done on managing to capture it!!!

Awesome shot!!!@

Well, I think it really is smashing, lol... love your accent (or how it sounds in my head ;-) ) I feel your pain trying to focus on a bird in flight, any that I have caught have just been happy accidents. Great use of negative space Phil!

Wow!

Great shot Phil, sorry I haven't commented recently - been busy.

Love the processing, wonderful shot
April 8th, 2014  
Well done.

I love the simplicity of this and the great use of negative space - accidental or not.

I like your processing of this bird in flight! You said in your profile that you've been trying to get this shot so good going!
