    I photographed this colorful and relatively large skipper in Costa Rica. 1D IV, Canon 70-300mm (at 300mm), tripod, 1/500, f/8, ISO 640. I used NIK software to selectively darken the brighter areas of the background and I applied NR to the background.

    Beautiful image Steve. I like the diagonal composition and the inclusion of the sharp end of the grass blade. Exposure and details look spot on. Very well done.

    That is one sweet specimen. I love the colors and the feathery stuff on the sides of the thorax.

    Beautiful processing and presentation Steve. Skippers over here in UK are very drab compared to this beauty.
