Hi Pankaj,

A perfect photograph to celebrate the Festival of Colors. The colors of both the butterfly and the lantana are beautiful. Wonderful details on both and a lovely composition. I wish you a Happy Holiday.

Hi Pankaj

A neat posting you've done here. The lovely single toned BG really makes the subjects (both the butterfly and the flower) stand out well and effectively draws the eye.

The composition is great with the insect to the left and the flower covering the bottom half of the frame with lots of free space in front of the butterfly. I do detect a bit of smokiness and I think it probably has to do with PP and contrast, but I will prepare a quick workshop to see if I can address this aspect. Hopefully I can make your day of colours even more colourful.

Well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot
