Grey Pansy
(Junonia atlites , Linnaeus)
The Gray Pansy Junonia atlites is a common species of nymphalid butterfly found in India.

This butterfly has wingspan of 55-65 mm. Its a medium sized butterfly with dark wing margins. There is a series of short bands on costal margin of the forewing. The underside color is much pale and the hind wing has an oblique line running across the wing.

Its behavior is very similar to other pansies except in egg laying. It often lay eggs on plants above the waterline in open water bodies.

A super sharp image of this Grey Pansy.
Very well taken.
Great DOF and a good BG.
Well done,
Joe

I have no idea of how you do this so well....and so continuously. My g'g'grandmother left me her Germancookbook and I tried to recreate her Xmas cookies. Not possible. I followed directions ever time but could not replicate. I think perhaps you have set a mark which most will not achieve in your special method...almost as your special signature.

Hello Pankaj,
your picture gives a nice impression of the butterfly's wing colour pattern. Selection of the right point of view was very successful as we can see the wing undersides, parts of the upperside pattern and the head including eye, proboscis, palpi and antennae. Beautiful light and colours!
Best wishes, Peter

Hi Horia, splendid butterfly with great details, excellent composition with great POV, we can see both face of wings, great sharpness, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hi Pankaj,

I can't help but ask if all of your shots are wonderful or if you are like many of us who have tons of rejects? Beautiful as always. I love seeing both sides of the wings. Beautiful colors, details, and comp.

This is an impressive POV; wow! I like everything about this picture, great DOF, details, colors, exposure, dark BG... Another little work of art! :) I need a “real” macro lens. Thanks!

Claudine

Hello Pankaj,
I like the effect you get from focus on one wing and a slight blur in the other!
Good light gives fine colours, the background is non-intrusive and enhance the subject well...
Pleasant composition!
