It looks like a mating pair. Nice action shot.

I don't recall seeing many mating images of this species, thanks for sharing!

Was going to say super action Neil, but that looks a bit rough. Brilliant shot with lots of impact!

Great mating action capture, Neil. I had to check your HD version to make sure he hadn't poked her eye out with his beak holding her head - and thankfully he just missed it!

Beyond the moment you captured in this image, the colors of the spreading of the wings amaze me.
The set of feathers almost form a perfect infinitely beautiful chromatic scale with silvery tones and natural earths.
The light of the surrounding environment is also wonderful. Really wonderful!

Very cool to capture this behavior. I also really love the color pallette here.

So dramatic-really captures the action and the nature of such things-not a sweet gentle moment! Excellent shot!
