yup, lots of reach and drive but they're not supposed to cross-over underneath at full extension. I'm not sure if it's because she's not long enough or because she's being moved too fast. I'll shoot her on the down & back and see how she looks moving more slowly.

The color in the outdoor stacked shot is definitely more vivid because of the 580 illuminating her in the shade but that's what outdoor ring shots look like -- most show photographers try to overpower the natural light with direct flash. I prefer to use the 580 to fill shadows outdoors but that's just my preference. We need a shot we can drop into "normal" show shots if the bitch or the handler look bad.

Glad you like the first two. Me too.
