Thanks, everybody....

Both shots were kinda tough - the dove is under very low lighting and I've to hand hold at 1/60 sec. Amazingly, my burst of three were all decently sharp (almost 4 stops slower than 1/1.6FL).

The KF was backlit so I shot to the right as far as possible. I reviewed the histogram in the first shots and adjusted the Tv so as to push the graph to very near the right edge. I recovered the shadows and toned down the highlights during conversion and PP.

You're insane Romy! You simply can't take those images with 700mm, handheald at 1/100th and 1/60th. Can't be done I tell ya. Dang! My dog just ran over my jaw because I didn't pick it up off the floor fast enough!!

Awesome stuff Romy - as usual.

Great shots, I am amazed at the picture clarity in both images at such slow shutter speeds, spectacular colors and a steady hand, for sure! Well done!
