[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I noticed these kites in the sky so went down for a look. 3 people out in the water, kite surfing. It was a fairly dull and windy evening, not exactly a nice day out, but they were certainly getting plenty of wind and enjoying their exercise. I took a few photos, but I really like this one with the three kites in the sky.

Hello Paul
Interesting to see. Nice composition with three flying kites with a windy blue sky in the background
Very good
Regards
Carmel

Wow, Paul!
What an incredible catch! The symmetry is astounding. I even like the way the middle one's colors show up brighter in contrast. They look great against that gloomy looking sky. Amazing. Wonderfully captured!! Regards,
Shelly

Hi Paul,
This is a very spectacular and exciting shot. Impressive POV and very good timing. Details are effective and interesting. Suggestive shot.

Best regards and a good weekend.

Hi Paul,
Nice shot, Good composition, Contrast and colours, TFS
Regards Rubi

Unusual approach but with a very good effect, Paul. Normally you see someone desperately trying to keep them up in the air but they seem like little ghosts hanging there in the wind. It gives an interesting pattern against the stormy sky. Cool shot, Barbara.

Hi,
An interesting and surreal image Paul. If it wasn't known that they were kites then they could be all sorts of things from strange flying beasts to alien craft. Good thinking on the composition. Thanks.
Dougie.
