Hi Pankaj!

The quality of the image is what we are used from you: crystal clear and so well composed. Moreover, the colours are superb. Indeed, a nice postcard to send to a loving couple...

Hello Pankaj!
This is very beautiful capture of Pieridae butterfly. And also a nice dedication to Bob and his wife, I am sure they will like it :)
Sharpness, DOF and colours are really nice for watching, but my favourite element is insect's head, espesially mouthparts :)
TFS and best regards,
Radomir

Very beautiful composition showing a lovely profile of the Common Emigrant. I like the rolled-up proboscis and the flower is very pretty too. Excellent details and beautiful colours too.
