Ciao Sumon,
bentornato con questa meravigliosa macro di questa bellissima farfalla, con cui celebri felicemente l'"Indipendence Day" dell'India; eccellenti POV e composizione dagli inusuali equilibri con uno stupendo OOF BG, ottima nitidezza, fantastici i colori.

Hi dear Sumon,
It's excellent to see you back!
It's a same high-quality posting from you again. Crisp sharp, well exposed and composed. Shallow DOF and POV are very good.
I still need some more "proof of life" from other banned friends and also (as I still expect) a step forward from the owners and the moderators. Otherwise I am still on a break...
All the best,
Selen

Hi Sumon and a very warm welcome back!

It's great to have you back here and resuming your activity and it's also great to see your spirit is high :)
This is a lovely macro especially thinking about the equipment it was taken with - the Canon kit lens is not the easiest thing to shoot close-ups with, but you managed it very well.
Even if you extra blurred the BG to make the subject stand out better, this is still a nice shot and a good presentation.
Lovely colors and spot-on exposure, too.

Bravo and TFS

It's nice to see you back.

It is nice to see a butterfly to symbolize the rebirth of your country and the metamorphosis of a land bound creature to one that symbolizes beauty and freedom.

Hi Sumon

Welcome back from the dark wilderness, Like teh others I'm happy to see you return. This is a great species, one I'd like to see for myself in the wild one day. Those silver streaks amaze me, a most unusual colour in nature I think. Great DOF for only f6.3! Excellent sharpness and composition.

Hi Sumon
A very nice and colorful Lycaenidae to celebrate India Independence day. I´m glad for your return to TN.
Image is really good, with a nice close-up, likeable composition, with butterfly over a flower, with a appropiate blurred and uniform BG.

Hello Sumon,

nice to see you back and hope you might've utilised this vacation photographycaly too :-).

First image, I guess, of this Silverline with awesome details and colors with a hand held kitlens in TN. You've made a 'WOW' effect in me. Absolutely fantastic in all respect. Hope to see more of you.

Hello Sumon
Lycaenids are my favourite butterflies, and this genus is specially beautiful, but I had never seen it so beautiful as you present it here. It's really delightful to see this picture. The composition is great, much more with such excellent sharpness, splendid DOF, and natural light and colors.
Really marvellous.
Independence Day is indeed a happy day to be happy, and I am happy you feel so.
Congratulations and thank you very much for sharing.
Greetings
