These males were squabbling the other morning. Light was coming from the right hand side.

Good dynamic shot. Love the fully outstretched wings of the LH bird. The position of the RH bird is not ideal, of course, but it does capture the action. Good colors. Some sharpening halos.
Thanks for posting this, Roy. The interaction between the birds is certainly interesting. The action is good.
But background noise and artifacts are conspicuous, and there are sharpening halos around the birds. I would go back to my original file and work to eliminate these problems.
The action works well for me. Well focused, and well timed to get some neat interaction. Not sure how big of a crop, but details seem to be lost a bit, and yes, NR to the background would be good.
