Hi Frank , nice interaction shot , well done.
Image could stand some more USM i feel . I would open open shadows slightly and darken HL .
A lot of negative space on RHS 
.

That is an impressive scene you witnessed. I love that we can see the lower bird's eye so clearly. Nice subtle gradient in the sky. With the face to face poses I do feel that a centered comp would work well with less at right and bottom if not already heavily cropped and details can hold up.

Really cool interaction captured.
I do wish we could see more of the top birds face but also realize that this is not possible with this transfer!
I feel you have too much space on the RHS.
I would also lighten the shadows,
Gail

Good suggestions -- made the shot even more incredible. I assume the bird on the bottom has been handed the prey by the one on top, but it has a wonderful look as though the one on the bottom is handing it up to the other one!

Frank, excellent action shot, details are good on the bottom bird. Wish for a little more detail on the top bird, but I know how hard it is to capture this kind of image. TFS. Loi

Hi Frank, excellent interaction captured between the two birds, and just love the extended legs of the bottom bird. Your repost has turned out well.
