That's a wonderful picture you've taken of this youngster Marc.

I think it's an improvement on the current Opus image, so I'll upload it to the article shortly.

Many thanks for sharing it with us lad.
 
Amazing action shot, Marc, with beautiful lighting.
 
A stunning juvenile kite picture with great lighting, focus, dof, colors, detail, and stop-action. Superb work Marc!
