Thanks Brian. My hit percentage with this lens combo is very low at 1.500th. With more light, I can get quite a few. Yes, the background is white sky. No way I could get it in range. It was a good ten stops above the bird's exposure. I could replace it with blue sky and clouds from another pic. I'll probably do that if I decide to send it to the stock house.
