Hi Adam,
I fine shot using the 560 as it gives a nice separation from the background 
and makes the kite flier stand out as only a long lens will create.

However me old son, that pole in the foreground is a killer and it has to 
go.

Crop the picture at a point where the grasses just begin to appear sharp, 
not more than 1/4 inch as the picture appears on screen and wham the subject 
just pops off the screen and the post is gone! :-) Do not go too high and as 
the marker point is the beginning of the grass becoming sharp.

Damn fine photo with the touch of cropping. I tried it and it sure makes a 
major difference making the flyer stand out even more so.  Good on you. :-)
