Hello Pankaj,
a very artistic and beautifully composed picture showing the beauty of the butterfly very well. Closer inspection shows 'wing movement' visible at the tips. Furthermore, you exceptionally see the upperside colour pattern of the right hinwing due to the fact that the left hindwing is not fully inflated or is nearly completely missing.
Nevertheless, this does not diminish the quality of the picture.
Best wishes, Peter

two light sources make the shot vibrate with detail..the overhead natural light and the thyristor fill
the colours have come up with great saturation
and the detail by using f13 and a useful 1/200
froze this enough to make it presentable
good shooting
and the background of course has been relegated to just that..background
cheers

Great composition with the butterfly's centre-of-gravity in the middle.
Good colours and lighting... great use of flash.

Hi Pankaj,

I'm running out of adjectives to describe your pictures. The colors are magnificent. Details are perfect. The composition with the pretty flowers is superb. If you publish a butterfly book I will buy the first copy!

The colors!!! I love the green of the wings repeated in the lantana's foliage. There's a symmetry to color here that is fascinating! Wonderful shot!!!!!!

Hello Pankaj,
I picked this photo for its contrast between the dark BG and the beautifully colored flowers. But also for the wonderful sharpness and colors of the butterfly. I particulary like how the pink and light green colors of the butterfly stand out against the darker colors of the wings. Some might say that you should have used a faster shutter speed to be able to freeze the motion in the wing, but I think that showing the motion made the photo less static. I like the way the flash illuminated the colors and gave you a shadeless impression.
TFS,
Niek
