Hallo Silpa
I have also been planting lots of flowers lately to attract more insects to the garden, and I cannot wait for them to start to blossom. Your image is colourful and very pleasant to look at. The “damaged wing” of the butterfly is a pity but it is never the less a beautiful insect with an arrangement of lovely autumn colours in the wings. The yellowish flower it is resting on, is pleasant and soft on the eye and your background is most favourable. Thanks for the interesting notes that accompanied you’re posting. May your garden still attract many beautiful and interesting insects.
Best regards
Anna

Hello Silpa,
Excellent classic capture of a Plain Tiger on lantana. The composition, neutral BG, lighting and colours are perfect and the sharpness is pretty good.
Nice to view when we must endure our cold dark winter and I thank you for that!
Kind regards,

Hi Silpa,

Common or not, this is a beautiful Plain Tiger. Lovely position on the lantana showing off the worn but still gorgeous markings. Colors are excellent and there is a fine clarity to this shot. Background and composition are superb.

Hello Iris

A striking image of this Plain Tiger,it is anything but plain as it is a beauty.
Excellent DOF with a wonderful BG with lovely bokeh.
The details are sharp and well focused.
Excellent light and rich colours.
I often think a tattered butterfly represents an interesting way of looking at beauty.The butterfly is no longer what it formerly was ,for it's aesthetic beauty has faded,but the gracefulness of it's flight remains.There is hope for us as we age because outward beauty is just skin deep.Inner beauty can survive the ravishes of time.

Merhaba Silpa,
Unfortunately my English is very bad and I can't write long and complex sentences. I hope you understand me. First thank you very much for all critiques. I'm very glad you like my photos. This is very nice macro shot. Colors are very nice, DOF is very good. Background is very clear. Thanks for sharing. Best regards...

Hi Silpa,
I'm uncomfortable with low (or high?) camera settings -- especially the shutter speed. Maybe each camera has a personality of its own. I have tried Goutham's aperture value 8 formula several times but with disasterous results. Your aperture value makes me queasy, but when I look at the result, I am thrilled at a sharp and fully balanced image.
Even though the veteran in your picture has lost a bit of its wing, it looks truly majestic on that lantana flower.
The other day at Okhla embankment, a fit and healthy Plain Tiger crossed my path. I ignored it because I was trying to shoot some Purple Moorhens down there in the swamps. Still, it made me think of this valiant butterfly impervious of cold weather.
Thanks and regards.

Hi Iris,

What a stunner, the colours on this really do stand out, from the pale colours of the flower to the stunning colours and markings on the wings of this beautiful butterfly, yes the wing might be a bit damaged but this is nature and I think it adds to the composition, loverly work.

t.f.s Rick :)

Hello Silpa,
Very fine and harmonious shot, well composed and with subtle colors. I like the busy attitude of the Plain Tiger, it makes the picture interesting, almost funny. Thanks also for the note. I notice that butterfly are always in connection with poetical thoughts.
Thanks also for your kind visit to my pictures.
Take care

Hello Silpa !
What a gorgeous picture - you may say he is common in your country, and he is indeed quite common on TN, but here in France we never have the opportunity to see it so it's always nice to have picture, specially when the pictures are as excellent as this one. Light, colors, composition, pose of the butterfly, BG and POV, everything is simply wonderful, and there is also some kind of softness on this picture, makes it look sweet and lovely, very pleasant to look at. Very well done !
Valerie.

Hi Silpa.
I like that you are surrounded with such wonderful butterflies. Despite you write that this is common species I have never met it in our places. And I like to watch so fine shot which represents this beauty at impressive POV perfectly. Colouration and shapes of the butterfly are reflected excellently. Pictured scene at whole is very nice and BG is simply amazing. My kind wishes and TFS.
