You used fill flash very effectively in this shot, Pankaj.
Very attractive and sharp composition with just the subject in view.
Well done and TFS.

Hello Pankaj,

You have captured here a beautifully perched butterfly against the darkened background. Well lit giving good exposure to both the subjects. Rock steady hand at 1/160s to get this in vivid details.

Regards,
Jusni

Merhaba Pankaj,
This is quite a difficult capture, considering your unique point of view, but you've overcomed it easily and produced a sharply in-focus composition with a deep DOF, thanks to that f/14 aperture. And that dark BG compliments both the b.fly and the flower nicely. TFS indeed!

Hi Pankaj,

This picture of the butterfly and flower is stunning. The gorgeous colors against the black background are marvelous. I love the pose showing off the wings. The details are superb and accentuate the beauty of the Peacock Pansy. Magnificent composition.

An original and very pleasing shot Pankaj!
Your POV is brilliant!
I also like the composition seeing as it is so unique and works splendidly well.
Very good use of flash to give that trademark dark BG and an even exposure across the subject.
Bright colours that add lots of interest to the photo.
Great clarity and sharpness.
Superb work my friend.
Well done,
Joe

Hallo Pankaj
I looked at your gallery this morning and once again come to realise that you have a gallery with a variety of colourful open winged butterflies. I have not yet been successful in photographing these insects with their wings open. The colours and patterns of this Pansy is really an eye catcher. The rounds shapes are near to perfect and the different colours blend in well with one another also with the yellow of the flower. A lovely close-up with clear and vivid details. Excellently framed and a colourful and luminous presentation. Have an enjoyable day. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards
Anna

Elegancia a alto nivel !!!!!!!!

Como siempre en muchas de tus tomas una sensibilidad especial para captar la belleza, y si además el motivo es bello, tus creaciones son "fuera de serie". Este es otro caso.

Un abrazo: Josep Ignasi Tejedor.

Hello Pankaj,
A rather unusual but very beautiful view of this lovely butterfly! Great sharpness and lovely colours. The eyes on the hind-wings look very much like eyes here!! A lovely composition!

Hi Pankaj.
What a great, unusual and impressive back POV. It is so attractive as well as the wingspread of the charming butterfly. I like your fantastic DOF and excellent sharpness of all scene despite the sizes of butterfly and flower. I am amazed with detail and colour reproduction of all wonderful features of the subject. Bravo. Refined work.
Alexei.
