I was with a group that included my wife, Peter Ting and four bird photographers from Hong Kong at Puerto Azul when several Brahminy Kites hovered above us . This particular one had a green plant in its talons which I didn't notice until I was already processing my shots. Minor post processing done: cropping, lightening and some sharpening.

Sometimes it's not the size of your lens that matters, it's how you use it. ;-)
