Black Hat

During one of the inevitable pauses in high school competitions (I think the roping chute had a glitch) I noticed this young lady with a black hat in a sea of straws, perched above the chute with her friends.  I just wanted to see if I could pull off the shot — autofocus and exposure wise.  Bearing in mind it's arena lighting and everything and everybody is moving.  I was pleased.  I hope she will be too.
