It was fascinating finding these busy little creatures living in the termite mounds in Zambia, you never know where they are going to appear! The back light is a bonus here.

Very nice simple setting, and I like the backlight. Compositionally I'd prefer to see the animal less centered and would consider a small crop from the top and left to offset it a bit.

I really like this one! The light is clearly what makes the shot special. The leading lines and BG are great, as well.
