I was extremely lucky to catch this shot - backlighting as always a bit challenging
Taken June 9th about 8:30A
Canon 40D 400mm f5.6L 1/800s ISO 800 partial metering ec 0 One-shot AF

Nice interaction. Your self critique is right about the lighting.
The HA on the chick is fine, dad less so, but the interaction makes it work. Very interesting perch.

I took the liberty of a little tweaking on the background, lightened the chicks face a bit. You can get more out of this one with some work!

Cheers

Hi Terry Excellent interaction and I like what you did with the backlight !!! Also like the tech info raising the ISO for the needed shutter speed !!!

Might smooth out the bg !! I like the subtle changes Randy made Excellent image !!!
