Hi Pankaj!

What a pleasure to see one of your famous pictures again and to hear from you. I'm glad you are well and don't forget your hobby.

You present us a picture in your usual quality. As you say in your notes, the picture really is above average, it simply is superb! The lighting and colour management as well as the perfect sharpness highlight the beauty of this butterfly at best. Moreover, the unity of the colour tones in the largest part of the picture creates a very pleasant effect. The green colour of the plant contrasts nicely with this unity and it seems that it does not only support the butterfly but the whole picture.

Kind regards

Markus

Hallo Pankaj
This is really beautiful. The assortment of colours and patterns on this butterflies wings is very eye-catching and striking. You have captured it well, with great focus and sharpness. I like the full framed composition. The detail of the black eye, the plumpish body of the butterfly and the green of the plant displays well against your dark backdrop. Indeed a lovely presentation. Thanks for sharing. Best regards.

Hi Pankaj,

High quality that has this picture! very careful balance of lightness, with a sober tone that allows the insect exceptional details. appropriately composition central with a frame that highlights the artistic sense of the whole.

Hello Pankaj,
A faultless capture of P. demoleus, showing the closed wing from an ideal POV with excellent sharpness. The contrasting BG helped by the use of flash and the composition with the lantana leaves make this top class.
Thanks and all the best ,

Hello Pankaj,
We cannot forget butterflies like that...and I'm not surprised that you took this marvellous shot, like in the good old days :-). Like your older pictures well composed and presented with fine sharpness and colors. I like your landscape-shots too. You are able to do both well.
Thanks and kind regards

The brown background makes this image Ram. Fascinating how background colours can be so important...even designs in them....I tell you that I think E Indians have this special way off seeing...perhaps it is more philosphical than sight...or perhaps a combination of both...but Buddhism would keep teh meaning simply...it is!
