Place: Gilbert, AZ, USA

Equipment: Nikon N90S, Nikkor AF-S 300/2.8 & TC20E (= 600/5.6), monopod from car
Film: Fujichrome Sensia 100
Exposure: aperture priority matrix metered, natural light

Commentary: Fill flash could have helped by adding a catchlight to the eye, but I'm always reluctant to alter natural lighting conditions for fear of an artificial look.
