The underside of the subject is bathed in the golden glow emanating from the yellow flower, Pankaj. This is a very unique feature of this capture.
The Skipper is in sharp focus against the plain BG.
TFS and regards.

When not knowing which to take this day we rely on the "good old skipper":-) It is the flower of course which attracted both the skipper and I. Sticks right out there. Best seen with little backdrop as well. You do have a golden eye.

Hi Pankaj,
a technically perfect shot of this Skipper.
+++ Perfect composition, POV, DOF which successfully blurs the BG while keeps the Skipper bang-on in focus and a BG very good BG that contrast well with the grey and orange of the foreground.
--- Slightly noisy but only a tiny little nit :)
Well done,
Joe

Hi Pankaj,

Not just another Skipper shot. Once again you have presented a striking, artistic creation. The dark background and the bright orange petals are fantastic. The butterfly is wonderful as usual with fine details and great colors.

Pankaj, Very lovely. The lighting, the background, the framing, sharpness, everything is good. I love the way the belly of the skipper is lit by reflections from the flower.

Hi Pankaj,
Splendid shot of this Skipper atop marigold flower I suppose. Superb lighting and it stands out from the darkish neutal BG pretty well. I like the way the sheen of the petal is reflecting on the bottom of the Skipper and its elegant posture. Very sharp and neat image. Excellent POV and very nicely composed. Kudos.
TFS.

composition: 5

colors: 5 (beautiful buckground color)

buckground: 4 perfectly homogenous but you could remove little noises

Best wishes
