Thats a great action shot Jeroen. For some reason though people seem to be put off by pics of birds mating. A little bit of human influence maybe

Still a grand shot though.

very nicely captured Jeroen. The OOF perch is a little distracting but great otherwise.

Thats a quality shot, Jeroen. Slight nit re the perch covered, and I think most people on here would be well pleased to have this on file.

Beautiful image Jeroen, you have managed to capture the essence of the mating here.

Id be well happy with that one Jeroen. An 1/80th second on a 1D4 is some going too. Did you use a cable release at all?
