Nice sports shot. Good entry for the contest. My only negative is that bottom of the frame is a bit lacking. I may also consider this in portrait mode keeping the left subject to the left of frame and the right lines cutting off the right edge. That would give it more height and allow you crop tighter. - just a suggestion. Good luck in the contest and thanks for sharing. /john

Ha! I recognize this from another place and time. I always did like this shot. Great lines from the kite strings. Love the composition. Great moment to capture forever.

I have never seen kite flying. These two look like they're having a blast. Awfully brave. The water is the most beautiful color, I love it. Great flying high, good luck in the contest.
thanks, Levon7

An interesting action photo and appealing coastal scene, with mountainous shoreline and distant clouds. The white balance is good, not too bright. It could use more sharpening to bring out detail. Cropping of the sky and right side would bring in the action closer, being a sports photo. A bit more ocean in the foreground and minor shoreline angle adjustment could also top it off. I like how your title matches the apparent attention of the center person toward the airborne person.
