Male mountain blue bird abruptly leaving his would be mate, on a very overcast day (that provided for lovely soft lighting).
Hand-held Nikon D810 at ISO 1000, 200-400mm lens with 1.4x Tele-Converter (= 550-mm), 1/1000-sec at f/5.6.
I appreciate you looking, comments welcome.

The light coming through his wings is exquisite, and you've got just enough of the other bird's expression to add a lot of interest to the shot. This one's a winner Larry.

Larry absolutely perfect timing... indeed a decisive moment personified... as noted the luminous quality of the sheer gossamer back lit wings take this visual statement entirely to the next level... Kudos on hand holding that piece of kit... At 7.5lbs this is quite a feat... albeit it's instantaneous focus is to be cherish... blindingly fast and you have made excellent use of the aforementioned attribute here...
Intriguing compositional elements and lovely pastel color harmonies.
The myriad of superb aesthetic aspects latent within combine gracefully into an ethereal aura bordering on surreal...

Thank you very much for the compliment. I see you know your Nikons--you even got the weight correct!! It is heavy, but I can hand hold it if necessary and as you note, for a big lens is it fast and has that great focus. I love that lens.Larry absolutely perfect timing... indeed a decisive moment personified.
Really appreciate your comment. Hope to hear from you again.
