Great day and thanks to Janet for suggesting the activity and organising the event. I would probably not have gone without the prompt...
Really bright day at times, so I found myself fighting the light. This was shot at f/2 on a 135mm lens. To stop the highlights blowing I needed to bring the shutter speed to 1/2500s even at ISO 125. I wanted the wide aperture to remove the wee beastie from the trees in the background. I think it works as the tree detail has just disappeared...
The title says it all - he/she was the top man/woman in the compound!
Yes Eddie it has worked well. I struggled to blur the branches as my lense wouldn't go wider than f6.3.

Light was difficult at times.
