actually mating ritual, they aren't actually mating in this image ;-). is this pre- or post- copulation?
Very interesting action image. I would wish for just a bit more head turn on the lower bird and more so on the male. but they weren't paying attention to the photographer, anyway.
Great detail in the feathers, and the food item is an interesting focal point.

Great timing and interaction captured, little bit of blur on the male birds head but impressive shot as such low shutter speeds. Understandably often one does not get to think about and alter camera settings for fleeting shots like this, many shots I take are done with less than ideal camera settings due to tiny windows of opportunity.....great to get a good shot of something unusual than no shot at all.
I'd be inclined to crop a bit tighter though

Nice behavior captured and the food in the mouth adds interest. BG looks good. I agree that a tighter crop may be beneficial.

To answer your question Pre copulation, later frame shows actual act but IQ poor.
I may well get the chance to recapture with better settings over this next few days.
I will have a look at recrop

Super behavior captured and I like the inclusion of the environment. I think you would be better served to shoot wide open to give yourself more speed to help you get your birds tack sharp. Did you add the catchlights?

Hi Marina-CL added, but then I found a Doug B method I am now using; dodge/low opacity/midtones that works really well where CL is present but dull. Thanks for your suggestion.
