Nicely done Raul,
I like the inter action here...:) agree with Harold on cropping a tad from the bottom.

Wonderful as noted above. A crop to a SQ from the bottom might shift more emphasis to the birds.

Where??? How much of a crop?

One of the best I've see doing the exchange Raul !!!! Particularly like the color depth/reproduction This is one time I see the Canon images looking different (better) than what Nikon has turned out. Not sure why?

Love the slight head turn by the mail and position for both birds !!! Big Congrats !!!!!

Lovely wing display in the female, Raul, I like how he's really concentrating on her. See you soon,

Thanks for comments.
Regarding the crop, this is a heavy crop, about 18% of FF. (Original 3504X2336, crop 1081X1351), so I was afraid of keep cropping.
I should have been shooting with my other body/ lens combo... but for some reason I am loosing confidence in my 40D for birds in motion.
Anyway, here is the alternative crop
