3, 7 & 12 are my favs.
Thanks Dave, Steve and JBR!
Since you guys mentioned 12.....after past experience, despite bright light, sometimes harsh shadows ruin shots, so carried around flash, adding to the weight and space management while driving.....however, it saved couple of shots.....Turkey was in shadow area and wouldn't be useable without it.....and #12.....it was taken half hour after sunset with very little ambient light left.....the bird is completely black...so it kind of worked! Thought you would like to know.....just thinking out loud! Cheers!:ivar
In your turkey image I do not see a catchlight in the eye, you did say you used flash didn't you? Off camera maybe?
I agree that fill flash for wildlife is an under appreciated tool. Good on ya!

Thanks Pathfinder! Much appreciate the feedback and I used the advice from last time and used lowest clarity and vibrance I have ever used in wildlife images and happy with result! Last one worked out and its natural dark color lend very well to monochrome processing.
I did use flash for Turkey shot, but from some distance. The head of Turkey barely filled the AF point. It helped light up background + some enhancement in processing. I did have diffuser on as well. Maybe that is why catchlight didn't show? Don't know enough about what went on, but the first shot where flash was off, was not as nicely lit.
