Been a lurker for a while, alternately inspired/intimidated by the quality of images on the site...finally got up the nerve to submit one of my own!

Taken on the lawn of El Castillo San Felipe del Morro, in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. In addition to being a National Historic Site and World Heritage Site, it's also an absolutely -perfect- place to fly a kite -- something which families of tourists and locals alike do nearly every day. As I hadn't gotten to fly one in years, I figured this would make an ideal excuse...:)

Per the Basic Editing rules, the PP on the image were:

Rotate 90*
Colour Balance
Saturation

Neat!
How about some more colour saturation?

A bit less dark on the top of the photo would have made a better silhouette of the kite. I like the composition and the subject. A blue sky would have been better emotion-wise for the shot.

Nicely done but, little to dark at the top, it makes it hard to discern the kite.

The blue is a little sad, maybe you could have improved it a little.

Excellent concept and framing. The only thing I would change is the brightness/contrast of the backround to make it kinda punch out the figure a bit more.
