I don't understand the competition? Obviously a kite hase been photoshopped out of the picture? But the kite would take up more than one square, so is it first to guess a square that has a portion of the kite in it?

Look you friggin dorks -
there were two kiters in the photo, one has been removed, leaving one - you have to pick the square in which the missing kiter's head would be in, if he hadn't been removed.
Now think about it, somebody took the photo - either from a helicopter - in which case the missing kiter could be anywhere and it is just a random guessing game,
or - a kite rigged camera, and the view you see is the view your kite would see of you. The challenge now is to look at the kiter who hasn't been removed and see where his kite is, how he is sailing, if he is doing a mega downwinder, or just mowin' the lawn, look at the sea, work out where the wind is and how strong it is and then work backwards - if the view is from the kite of the missing kiter - then where would the kiter be -
now it is skill and judgement and not just a random guess
But - and this is the tricky bit (and as I don't kite twice as hard for me) - is the missing kiter riding strapped or unstrapped, is he riding a 14 that handles like a 6, does he have boardies on over his wetty and has he inflated through the deflate valve ? - these questions need to be answered in order to pick the right square
Comprenda ????
Personally I think the whole thing is rigged because King_of_the_Point can smell a kiter from 200 yards and shot him out of the sky, over his shoulder, whilst slaying a flaming dragon. Clearly KOTP will only have to sniff the screen to know instantly where the kiter is.
