I see they are still going at it Lance !!!!! Looks like you got the second mating of the day Light starts getting a little harsh !!! Might like a little more room for the birds Love the timing and visible feet for the male !!!! Excellent !!!
 
Great to see you posting Lance. Great action and excellent detail in this image. They have been a wonderful couple to photograph this year !!!!!
 
Hi Lance,

These guys are amazing, they still going at it. There is a strong green cast in the image, I also agree with Al's comment regarding the light.

Thanks!
 
You captured the moment, Lance. I like the way you got the male with his wings open. Too bad about that one little branch that's in the way. Seems like nests always have that one bad branch.
 
Hi Lance. You got yourself a great pose in the wings, mine didn't come out like that, the ones from the front. Agree on the green cast, just add move the slider a bit to magenta in color balance.
A bit more room at the top would have been nice, I see you were using the fixed lens, and judging by the shooting angle, you must have been right in front, making the 400/5.6 a bit too much lens? If it's OK with you ethics, adding a bit of canvas on top should be fairly easy.

Happy New Year!!
