I think I like this shot better. He was doing a roll.
I'm new to photography. The photos were taken in mid day sun. Why would the ISO still be 500? It seems high. Is that an issue? I do have a circular polarizer on the lens but it's a good quality B+W filter.
Thanks,
Dave

Cooper's hawks fight over a dove. The male on the left is a bird I've photographed for quite some time, and frequently posted here. The bird on the right invaded his territory. I'm not sure which originally caught the dove, but it was quite a ruckus for a bit until the bird on the right won the prize.

The OM-1/150-400 combo was a great rig for shooting a polar bear up in Utqiagvik, Alaska. This one was at 150mm to capture an environmental portrait, and it is nice and sharp even from that distance.

Continuing Cooper's hawk coverage. The couple (female is a second year bird and this is her first nesting season) had one chick this year. The male, and his former mate, fledged five from the same nest last year.

ISO 500 for your parameters of 1/1000 s at f/4.5 seems fine, esp. with a CPL. It may have been ISO 200 without the CPL, for example, but your choices look good here. Look at the ISOs of some other pictures posted here, for comparison.
I had a long-standing notification request on the 150-400 and BH just sent me a note saying discontinued. I did pick up one on here, but a worrying sign
