Is a really good photo just perhaps a little bit over-exposed...

I might edit it. the problem I have is things look different on my Samsung TFT. so what looks correct to me actually looks a little brighter to others.

[edit] I've changed it a bit now, does it look better?

Caught that really well and not having seen the original picture in any depth I think that you have fixed it, yes

If you lost the red windbreak, i don't think it wouldhurt the picture at all.

The original was a little 'washed out' because my monitors gamma is quite dark, so I end up editing till it looks okay on there but looks wrong on other monitors. I think it's fixed now though.

The red thing in the background is another kite, I might crop it out later if I get time. Not sure whether to just leave it for now.

Here's another I took:

I quite like this one too (this will probably be washed out as I didn't edit it again)

Really like this would have preferred the subject to be further right in the shot personally but I like the way the guide lines head off at the diagonal, can't make my mind up about the kite in the background though.
