Hi Pankaj,
Splendid shot of this beautiful Common Cerulean. Very neat and sharp details with nice colours and patterns on its wings. The black BG does make the shot look even better and the single streak of grass blade presents a fine effect. Great lighting and exposure with perfect DOF. Excellent POV and composition. Kudos.
TFS.

Hello Pankaj,
so we are both feeding the virtual collection of Lycaenidae here on TN, today! Expanding brightly lighted, well detailed presentation. The dark and distant background supports the isolation ob the butterfly very well. All the fine details of shapes of wings of this little blue can be seen very clearly against the dark - in particular the unusually long tail of hindwings.
Thank you! My best regards,
Peter

Hi Pankaj, I find that you did a good job, the dark background suits perfectly to this beauty. The only think I would have improved is the composition, maybe too centered.

Lovely image of this pretty little butterfly.
+++ Superb sharpness and detail once again.
Stark contrast between the BG and subject.
Good colours and lighting... excellent use of flash.
--- Composition is too centred but otherwise nothing.
Fine work Pankaj.
Well done,
Joe

Bonjour Pankaj,
Peut-être le papillon est-il un peu trop centré (je l'aurais mis plus en bas personnellement), mais cette photo est splendide !
Bravo !
Cordialement,
Antoine.

This little one pops right up and feels as though it would fly off the computer screen. Sometimes I feel these butterfly's and moths are more complex than we really know...there may be some reason it was given to the creators eye...and yours to ours.

Hi Pankaj,
A great contrasting image!
I like very much the dark background got to stand out all the beauty of the butterfly.
A proper exposure and focus on the insect.
