Monarch Caterpillar

I used my GPS to find this guy, again, after marking a waypoint the day before, when I didn't have a tripod or an off-shoe flash cord.

This particular shot is the only one out of 200 where I achieved balanced lighting between the subject and the background leaf a few feet away. The idea was the direct more of the light to the background so its intensity would be equal with the foreground much closer to the flash. With multiple lights this would have been simple, but I only have one field-capable flash unit.
