I photographed this young female in her native territory, a hardwood forest.  Hickory and maple trees provide a touch of autumn color in the background.  Please click on image to view a larger version with dark surrounds.  Thank you.

Nikon D3, 200-400mm, f/5.6 @ 1/200, EV -0.67, ISO 1000, Blind, Wimberley Head II

Beautiful shot Ron! Love the low angle, complimentary colors in the background and off course the pose and eye contact. Very nice.
