A smallish satyr I bumped into on the trail in Costa Rica, in the Sarapiqui River area. Taken at ground level.

Canon 5DM2, 300/4 + 500D, F8 handheld at 1/30 (Image stabilization is a great thing)

Simple and elegant shot, Tom!
The soft light works well too.

Very pretty butterfly, Tom. Impressive for a 1/30 S handheld.
