hawkflyer, Nice job with difficult lighting. Fill flash worked pretty well. Maybe didn't need 2000th second so that the ISO could be lower?

Like the pose and the perch. Nice use of fill flash to get the desired exposure.

Very nice lighting — the backlight and the fill flash! Nice pose as well.

Thanks for the feedback.  The ISO and shutter speed were setup to attempt to catch the birds in flight approaching the perch.  The backlight would have made the wings glow.  This was an opportunity shot with the dove perched.
