Superb. There’s so much to see in this shot: the people, the up-close birds, the kite, the sun rays… Though “they” say less is often more, I find this to be a great composition. I’m particularly struck by the kite in front of the sun rays. Nice shot!

Glad you like it! I wasn’t too sure about it. If it wasn’t for the sun rays, I probably wouldn’t have posted it.
Thanks!

I also like this picture, but I do think that it doesn’t hurt to crop some of the foreground (but still with a bit of a margin between the bottom and the flock of birds).

this is sublime…..
and i think it’s perfectly cropped: the curved reflective sweep of water is a lovely counterbalance to the silhouetted buildings.
