White-tailed Kite - Lighting study 1 of 2

What makes for an attractive flight shot? Simple answer have Doug Lloyd or Don Metzner (aka Hearman) take the shot.

I suppose one clue is to avoid rodents...Rodents in a bird picture are only attractive to young boys, exterminators, and other odd people such as bird photographers (see the first item). Unfortunately I have still to figure it out.

Some people haven't noticed that the right leg isn't a leg, it's a mammal...

One thing I'm learning is that morning light is very attractive to white. It gives white a (literally) peachy glow. See next picture....
