Hi Pankaj,
no need to worry my friend, we all have our lives to lead, it's nice that you could find some time and share this with us :o) I love the bright orange of both flower and insect here, some fine detail and lovely diagonal composition.

Never tire of looking at this lovely butterfly we find in our country, Pankaj.
This is a beautiful shot of the butterfly sitting atop a marigold flower, apparently in your house garden.

Wow....your excellent images...of course. Now I remember why we have been missing you. You and Sumon are the very best at this butterfly business...The vivid orange! Wow...what fantastic colours. You know Fartash sent me a bird book of birds from India...he sent it from Bangalore....and it also shows off the wonderful coloured birds there...and it reminded me of my friend TJ and his dad the General who is in Punjab right now getting ready to come back...I await all those from India! Wonderful image...glad you have found time!

Brilliant color!!! WOW! Great composition, classic pose and wonderful lighting. Perfectly sharp.

And I totally understand about not having time lately. I've been so busy with so many things that I just can't find time to even get the camera out.

Those colours are so bright and soft, Pankaj, wonderful! The pov works well with the butterfly trying to leave by the upper right corner! It is well composed and nicely shot, as if respectful. I love those colours, bright yet soft, with the beautiful background and as usual, you captured the butterfly with mastership. Thanks!
