Thanks Richard,

I used my 70-200 f/2.8 VR with a 2x teleconverter. Mother nature provided the backlight, I used my sb800 speedlight at probably -0.3 for fill flash. I actually wasn't thrilled with this shot when I took it, but with my 2 hour visit to the zoo that morning, it was the best I had. I do tend to warm my shots either in camera with my white balance setting, or in Nikon Capture Editor or PS CS. I got use to the warmth of my fuji 602, and have continued the feel with my Nikons.

Outstanding shot, everything works well together here, the color in the blurred backround, the backlight and the use of fill-in flash (?). Maybe a centered version would have been even better as its body faces a bit out of the frame to the right and its face out of the frame to the left. Congrats on the ribbon, great collection you have.
