Female GSW from this afternoon.

Got one or two shots of this little lady over about an hour or so; right in the middle of some mixed woodland and shooting through a little gap in the branches.
Had to use some fill as the natural was throwing leaf dapples all over the bird.

Techs
D2Xs
Sig 500mm f4.5
ISO 400
1/250th @ f8
SB800 TTL BL FP -3EV

P&P Cap1 & CS2

Thanks for looking folks :toast: :toast: :toast:

Love the background, this is what we mean when we say the subject 'pops', a stunner :toast:

It is a bit tight in the frame for me, but hey...........
