Backlit Skipper

Here is another Skipper image, as they seem to be the only things I'm able to photograph lately. This was tough, but really cool lighting. I know the white on the leaf may be distracting, but it actually isn't blown... Hope you like it!

Skippers are fun to photograph with their big eyes and hairy bodies and you have demonstrated these well here. The backlighting is interesting and well managed. As you say, the reflection on the leaf is a tad bright; a CPL can be a great help in this situation. Compositionally, the top leaf tends to draw the eye away from the BF and the BF is a bit centered. Just my 2 cents.
