This butterfly is Chocolate Pansy and i thanks Mr. Haraprasan Nayak for correcting me here. I misjudged it as evening brown. Sorry for the wrong information.

Hello Pankaj,
You have made excellent macro work on this Brown Butterfly resulting with nice POV and composition, pin-sharp details and nicely blurred BG.
Best regards Siggi

Hello Pankaj,
Fine close-up of this butterfly which looks like a dry leaf
Good sharpness and fine DOF, the sunbkect standout well from the BG but the picture looks a bit UE/dull on my monitor.
Well done, mf

Hello Pankaj,

What a fine image of this butter fly with colourful flower as a perch, well done.tfs.

I had close encounters with this species last year, Pankaj. It used to enter my school office here in Noida when I was working there. Then I would also spot it posing like a leaf on the dead leaves under the shade of trees. I took its pictures off and on including one found in my office.
Your picture of it is well composed against a plain brown BG. The details on its outer wings are very good. It is also smeared with pollen and you have captured this too very well.
Thanks and regards.
Ram
