Another shot of the creature i really love to shoot. In India there are no butterfly parks or any such arrangements and shooting butterflies here is a big fun due to the chasing involved and some times becomes a tough task also.
You have captured so many beautiful butterlies and dragon flies and that shows your love for nature specially flies.
well done.
regards

Bonjour Ram,
Bravo pour cette belle prise de vue,l'éclairage illumine bien le vert du feuillage qui contraste avec l'aile du papillon.

Another nice butterfly shot of yours. Sharp and nice details. Well composed. I like the square format of this photo.

Hi Ram

One a bit more complete than your other posts :) Nice to see a rather fresh one :))
The macro work is excellent here, my friend!
Very nice focus on the butterfly's body. Lovley natural colors and very good exposure (you avoided very nicely what could have been an overexposed body and lower wing:))
Also great POV, framing and compo.

Bravo and TFS

Hello Ram,
Very well framed subject, I like the way the insect fills the frame!
Well done on the macro part, great details are captured but maybe a tad wider DOF as the wing is not perfectly sharp? No big deal however...
Super definition and great clarity in colours!
Greetings,

Hello Ram,

Look this link:

Hi Ram,
Lovely butterfly that must be very active. Good composition and reasonable focus and exposure.I really has not patience to capture them when never stop flying from one place to another.

Nice shot Ram.
Good detail seen at the body, head, and antenae of the insect. Of course, I would like to see a bit more of the wings in..Good exposure/color with an informative note. It gave you a tough time then? Was it supposed to be easy? ;)
Have a great week mf.

Hello Ram,
What a nice little beauty you have here :) This POV is very good and I like this lightning a lot. Details are great and the fact that there is a little blur on the edge of its wings doesn't bother me at all. This is a good composition with excellent natural BG. Well done and TFS,
Claudine

Hi Ram,
Beautiful butterfly , very well captured. The details on the wings are excellent. BTW did you get a chance to record the blue color when this fellow opens its wings? Believe me it is one of the most beautiful colors; I will post one shortly with wings open.
Exposure and composition are excellent

Hello Ram,
Nice showing of this Lycaenids or Blues family. This one reveals a bit of blue on the upperside wings. POV, exposure and sharpness are great. Well done and seen.

Hello Ram !
In france all the butterflies have disappeared, so it's nice to see them on your pictures, they bring a bit of colors into the rainy days we have here. Excellent details on the body of the butterfly, wonderful colors (I love this green), beautiful composition and POV. Maybe a greater DOF would have been nice, to have the whole wing in focus, but that's not a big problem for me, it's a great picture. Very well done !
