Hi Pankaj,

An absolutely exquisite picture of a lovely butterfly. The colors are fantastic. Razor-shapr details of the butterfly which stands out so well from the beautiful background. A beautiful composition.

Hi Pankaj,
Excellent shot of this small blue. Very sharp detail and fine colours. On the composition, I think I would have cropped some more of the bottom off the picture, below the leaf on which the butterfly is perching. Anyway, good work, thanks.

Hi Pankaj,
This is a beautiful picture with fine lighting and nice colours.
Fined details, good sharpness and the butterfly standout well from the green BG.
Maybe it's a bit too centred but thats a minor nit.
Well done.

You are using a nice new technique which almost sets aside this as a different grouping for the new year. I like the dark background. Very sharp and truly Pankaj work of quality!

Hello Pankaj,
I love the wide crop in this photo.
It really isolates this tiny little butterfly.
The DOF is very good and the focusing spot-on.
Nice colours as well.
This insect is like a gem amongst the green surroundings.
Well done,
Joe

Hello Pankaj,
Excellent capture of the Common Cerulean with good sharpness and lighting. I wondered why you composed it in this way and then I looked more closely at the leaf that the blue is on. The leaf needs to be a part of the composition in its entirity as from this POV it is quite beautiful.
Thanks for sharing this,
Ivan

Hi Pankaj.
Pictured scene is amazing at highest range. The plant creates an impressive basis of the picture. Charming butterfly is looked on the leaf perfectly. Its image is perfect illuminated, coloured and detailed. Lights and deep shadows are wonderful. POV and DOF are really great. Bravo. Well done.

Ciao Pankaj,
oggi ci presenti una splendido Lycaenidae.
Molto simile al Leptotes pirithous, che vive nel mio paese.
Lo sfondo scuro esalta ancora di più il bel disegno delle ali.
Grazie,
Marcello

Hello Pankaj,

This is very small butterfly and you have managed the sharpness and details really well. Perching on that leaf making this a view to appreciate against the contrasting green background. I like it and well done.
