Congratultions Pankaj!
You have been one of our mainstays these two years. I was with TN for only a month when you started and I have enjoyed your images and your critiques. It's great to have you with us and I hope you will continue for a long time to come.
This butterfly shot on Lantana is technically great and is quite representative of your fine contributions.
Thank you and best wishes!
Ivan

Hello Pankaj,
Very beautiful photo to celibrate your second year on TN. Congratulations.
Colours, sharpness, composition, POV and BG are all excellent. A beauty!

Hi Pankaj Da,
HAPPY SECOND ANNIVERSARY here in TN. CONGRATULATIONS. A nice capture of this peacock pansy. Very well composed with sharp details. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Wonderful self-declaration of a man of nature Pankaj...I am happy you told us of this milestone..You shall have to add this to your milestones catagory...It is a sure well centered image which does not disagree with any rules of photography as I can see....I think because the vertical of the focal points all remain centered as if in a cross with the horizon...Very nice...
Bob

Hi Pankaj!

Hi Pankaj,nothing better to celebrate the 2nd year in this website,as a butterflies lover is a great gift to me,excellent pic ,perfect details and colors,a great thanks for your work on TN,have a nice week,Luciano

Time flies by, Pankaj.
I still recall your first picture -- a beautiful Water Lily!
You have come a long way in two years. Today you are known as the butterfly expert from India. Well done!
This image of a Peacock Pansy on this occasion is a befitting post. It carries both your passions -- a butterfly and the lantana flowers.
Congratulations and may you keep on spreading sunshine here for years to come!
Ram

Hi Pankaj,
You have been a great contributor to TN and your pics have grown in class as you progress. Here you present a clear crisp image of a beautiful butterfly on a Lantana. The huge frame actually distracts the viewer from the pic(its more of a personal opinion

Congratulations, Pankaj, on your second anniversary on TN.
Your contributions to the site go way beyond the numbers you cited.
Your extensive posts have brought beauty and knowledge to all the members of Trek Nature, and we thank you.
I love the pose of this butterfly. For some reason, I don't see that position very often, with the wings at such a horizontal presentation.
Beautiful details and colors in a very attractive and well balanced composition.
TFS. : )
