Happy New Year, Silpa!
I know you have been busy. Good to know you were able to take some time off for TN and post this lovely picture of a Common Silverline on the last day of the year.
It is a superb capture with brilliant colours.
Thanks for sharing this image and wish you all the best in your work.

Hi Silpa,

It's been so long - I miss you. So glad you popped up with this beautiful butterfly and wonderful poem to end the year on TN. The Silverline and lantana are gorgeous with such lovely vivid colors. I love the composition with the blurred background in front of the butterfly. A very healthy and happy New Year to you and your family. Hope to see more of you in 2009.

Hi, my friend.
Happy New your to you and your family. Thanks also for kindness and nice pictures as this one. Both pictured butterfly and surroundings are amazing. I like crisp sharp image of the insect and flowers so much. BG is fine and very impressive too. Especially its remote dark part and blurred plants with flowers. My best wishes and TFS.

Namaste Iris,
I wish I could see such a beauty with my own eyes in nature, a wonderful butterfly.
I love the sunny colours here so much - we now have winter and I'm longing for the warm days with insects around.
So thanks for your shot, all the best for 2009, Greetings

Hallo Silpa
It was good to see your name and delightful image on the gallery after such a long absence. This is really a gorgeous image with lots of detail to appreciate, and indeed a feast to the eye. This butterfly is shaped perfectly and the arrangement of autumn colours is spectacular. Good framing, good lighting and focus. Great clarity applied on the details, especially the fine hair on the body and lining of the wings, and not to mention the black and white stripes on the antennas and paws. A splendid presentation. Best regards and I truly hope you won’t just disappear again.

Hi Silpa,
HAPPY NEW YEAR. A nice capture of this beautiful common silverline butterfly. Very well composed with sharp details. A little bright I think. Could be managed by brightness reduction. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Dear Silpa,
You're right we must think more of the silver linings when our clouds are dark and grey!
This beautiful Silverlines is a fine capture and reminder of that. The technical features, POV and composition on the lantana flowers are excellent and show this fresh female, her body bursting with eggs, in a fine way.
I thank you for sharing this beauty an for your kind words to Ulla and I.
I wish you a fine healthy 2009 with enriching experiences.

Hello iris !
This one is such a wonderful butterfly, I love the patterns and the colors on his wings, as much as I like the "tails" on the hind wings. The vivid and sunny colors are also very attractive, and the composition and blurred BG are very pleasant to the eye. Very well done !

Hi Silpa,
Excellent shot of this small and beautiful Common Silverline with such wonderful colours and silver lines. It looks marvellous on those tiny lantanas. I think a bit of reduced brightness would have brought in a much more details on the wings, anyway it is a fine image.

* You are showing yourself in small bits too - first the name, then the profile image. And all throughout the gradient improvement in the quality of your images. Very impressive improvement on all counts.
