[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
On 21st September I am completing my 3rd year at Treknature. Its already 11.50pm here and in ten minits it will be a third anniversary here for me.

I preferred posting it now as tomorrow early morning i have a flight to catch and i will be out for 5 days for business trip.I didnt want to miss this date without a posting here.

I am very much thankful to all the friends here who have always inspired me to learn photography and love nature.

Though I am not as regular i used to be but i always miss this community of wonderful people.

This is one of my favourite butterfly : The common Lime. I found this one on ground sipping water and took the shot by coming parrelel to the butterfly. Tripod was not required as the camera itself was on the earth to get this pov.

I will try to be more visible here with uploads as well as in writing critiques. Till then good bye and god bless you all.

Hello Pankaj
very good attribution of colours and details, exceptional macro photo,

TFS thanks for sharing

It was worth spoiling your shirt for this magnificent shot, Pankaj.
Congratulations on completing three years on TN! I still remember your first Water Lily image.
You have come a long way to turn almost professional in your nature photography. It is a pity our busy schedule of work is keeping us off TN -- a place where we were very active at one point of time.
Nevertheless, it is heartening to note that you too post an occasional picture. I've got the hang of my new work now, so I might pick up my dusty and rusty camera one of these days and head towards Okhla in search of bugs and butterflies. The snag is that my working hours 6 days a week are from 10 to 6!
Thanks for sharing this beautiful picture that suits the occasion of your 3rd anniversary on TN like the proverbial glove.

Hello Pankaj, beautiful picture,excelent work,what can i say? Well done, regards Istvan.

Hello Pankaj, What a coincidence I shot something similar this morning. Very nice shot and sorroundings made the picture so highlighted. Fantastic clear and crisp shot. Great colors too. I like the POV very much. Am back and hope to see you regularly. My projects are more or less over. Am just in the supporting stage. Good work again. Ganesh

Namastay Pankaj ji,

As always, this time another great macro capture from your side! In addition, let me congratulate you on your third anniversary on TN.
Beautiful capture of the adorable Common Lime butterfly with great details! The sharpness and POV are perfect with nice color contrasts, existing within the picture.
Very well done composition!

best regards,
Paras

Hy Pankaj
Even late, congratulation for you third year in this comunity. A very good picture to celebrate this moment.
Kind regards, Oana

Hallo Pankaj
Time surely fly! 3 Years went by so quickly, as I remember always looking at your images even before I was a member of Trek Nature. A splendid capture of a most beautiful butterfly, with good detail and great colours. The markings and patterns are displayed well and is clearly seen. This specific butterfly reminds me of spring and happy care-free days. Good sharpness, focus and viewpoint, making this an excellent close-up shot. Thank you very much for sharing, and I am proud to be associated with you as fellow member. Kind regards
Anna

Hi Pankaj
Great photo on your third anniversary. I like the low POV and set of colors - vivid butterfly vs peaceful background Technically perfect Nothing to critique

Congratulations Pankaj!
You joined TN not long after I did and now I can congratulate you on completing three years and thank you for your fine contributions, especially of Indian Butterflies.
This is an excellent shot to mark the occasion. The low POV shows this P. demoleus mud-puddling in a great way against a fine contrasting bg and the sharpness and lighting are top class.
Thanks and I hope you continue to be active on TN for a long time to come.
With best wishes,
Ivan

Hello Pankaj

the details are pin sharp, i like also the wonderful composition and BG
Have a good night
Jacqueline

What an amazing shot dada.
Shaayad main thoda late ho gaya hoon.
Aap ko dher saari sahubhkaamnaein.
I do miss your shots so much.
Pl come back,dada.
Coming to the shot, what I really like is the simplicity and depth,without editing out the beautiful base of the butterfly.
With a lot of regards and respect.
Goldy

Hi Pankaj,
Belated wishes, And a good picture of this common lime, getting some moisture :-). This is a very important activity of the butterfly's life and the proboscis is very well visible and thanks for your kind words on my picture.

Hello Pankaj,
I were also abstinent here for almost half a year. I'm glad we meet again - this shot is excellent, I love the sharpness and the pose of this noble butterfly.
By the way - I love your foto in the Intro.
You are dressed very colourful, I like it.

Congrats Pankaj,
You're moving up the later..Do you get a pay raise with that? ;-)
I've always admired the variety & quality of your images.
Best of luck,
Howard

Hello Pankaj,

The dominating black and white pattern makes what is of colours stand out even more!
Level point of view works well and the DoF is amazing, adding this great feeling of depth...
An excellent macro work!
