@alex centrella: Thank you, Alex! I got lucky with this one. The kite was high enough so no land or sea is seen.

Nice simple shot, I like the colours. Maybe you could try a lower ISO next time, your shutterspeed is really high here, so you could've gotten away with 100, which'd give you less noise and even cooler colours!

@DaveB: Thank you for your advice. I am just learning the technical part and your comment make a total sense.

@Barbara: Thank you, Barbara. I think the simplicity is what appeals to me as well in this one. I shot this about a month ago and up until now wasn`t sure if I liked it. But I guess it grew on me....

Very nice Nataly!....if you are interested in this kind of composition you should try googling "Golden Spiral"

@. . _Reza Nia _ . .: Thank you, Reza. After watching "The Kite runner" I look at kites differently. I didn`t know anything about this culture and how big and important the kite flying is in the middle east. And beautiful... I dodn`t know if you grew up with the competitions and whether in your country it was as important, but if yes i can understand your nostalgia.
