Hallo Pankaj
Thanks for sharing, such a colourful and friendly image. It is a most appropriate theme and subject you have chosen for this day of friendship. Thanks also for your friendship that you share amongst fellow members on the site. This is such an interesting looking creature, with striking and prominent features. The selection of colours on the insect is really eye-catching, but the blueish eye is fascinating to look at. The movement caught in the wings is great and all around photography in this image is tops. It was a pleasure to stop by such a beauty. Best regards.

Hello Pankaj,
A superb in-flight capture of this species of Hummingbird Hawk-moth taken from a great POV while hovering over the lantana flowers with fine sharpness and colours.
I wish you a Happy Friendship Day too and I shall be celebrating my three years on TN very soon!
Thanks and all the best,

Hello Pankaj,
Its a hawk-moth of the Genus Macroglossum, but I do not know the species. If you can get to consult a copy of D'Abrera's Sphingidae Mundi then you might get a better ID. You have used the flash well and got a very sharp details except, of course, for the "hummingbird" wings. Thanks.

This is the best ever picture of a fluttering Hummingbird Moth on TN, Pankaj, and you deserve full accolades for it. I wonder how you froze this restless creature at shutter speed 1/125. It is a charisma of some sorts.
Almost the entire Moth is in perfectly sharp focus. The details and colours are matchless and the composition is immaculate and beautiful.
Well done and thanks for your greetings on that auspicious day. Needless to say, I cherish your friendship and goodwill.
Best regards,
Ram

Hi Pankaj,
this is a very hard capture. The motion blur is well seen and such a beautiful technique.
The rest of the body is pin sharp.
Lovely presentation.
