Kite with 300 ft tail. I spent an hour taking pictures of this kite. I don't know the owner so much of the time was waiting for the tail to form a circle.

For this contest everyone who has the word “circle” in their title is getting a lower score. This is a copy and paste version that I am including in every photo that I downgrade due to the title. We as members of DPchallenge know the topic of the challenge – we do not need to reread the topic every time we reach a photo. If circle is in the title and it is appropriate I will most likely not down grade, but it better be good. I am sorry if you do not agree with my method of protest – but scores are all I have.
I would have cropped it just a bit tighter on the bottom just enough to loose the edge of the roof...it creates static in the composition, great eye on subject, my favorite motion circle.
This shot works for me... but I think it would be a much stronger composition without the horizon visible. Maybe cropped a little higher on the bottom, and cropped a little tighter on the left would help retain the strength of the vertical crop? - 7 - JeB
