Backlit sulphur

I found this Dainty Sulphur flittering amidst a small patch of sunflowers. The sun was low in the sky, creating a backlit scenario. 7D, ISO 200, f/11, 1/80, 81mm with 21mm extension tube, large crop. C&C always welcome and appreciated, including ID corrections.

The silhouette effect from the back light is really cool in my opinion. Very nice Rob. :toast:
