Hello Pankaj,
great shot of this Skipper.
The flowers are very pretty and stand out well against the grey BG. They also cause the butterfly to stand out.
Very good sharpness with crisp edges and great clarity.
Great use of flash to eliminate shadows and conserve detail.
Well done,
Joe

Hi Pankaj, very nice and interesting shot of this Skipper. The antenai is pin sharp and I am wondering whether that is an actual eye or one of those deceiving markings that Butterfilies and Moths have? As usual, you have made a nice composition with a great pov. Very useful note,I may concentrate on Butterflies next year.

Thanks for the tip and reminder. I once had a Buddhist teacher who said, as many have before.."All things come to those who wait". I have asked before to others if patience is one of their virtues in photography...you answer for many in your notes. To give the feeling and concerned attitude, yet not wanting nor demanding...simply being. It is a marvelous trait and shows well in all of your works, including this particular one...Well said and taken.

Hello Pankaj,
I see you have posted a butterfly on lantana also today.
Lovely Skipper with the "big" eye.
Good detail seen and it's subtle colors show well.
Fine controlled use of flash.
You amaze me with the isolation from the BG you acheive.
Is that only from flash use and DOF blur or are you placing bg paper behind the flower?
Very nicely framed also.
TFS another fine butterfly image.

Hello Pankaj,
excellent resolution and absolutely great sharpness. Although the skipper is rather worn and not so colourful, the picture is very attractive due to the colour contrasts and the superb sharpness.

Hello Pankaj

Another amazing butterfly shot.I am not surprised.
The focus is razor sharp with wonderful detail.
The lighting is really well handled,and it produces vivid and rich colour.
Excellent POV and DOF,the dark OOF BG is super.
Nicely done.
