Hi Ram Sir,

Very different PoV for the butterfly. I liked it. Nice sharp details with a contrast BG. Very good composition.

TFS,
Kedar

Hi Ram,

Here in my country is dawning and it is good to start the day watching one of your photos.

Incredible definition to the eyes of this insect!

This small butterfly seems to be looking directly at my face!

The POV taken by you in this picture is very good. The result is pleasing, the color balance is much like the light.

Nice work, very well complemented by the additional EXIF note.

Thank you!

Greetings

Nice composition with the shallow dof give an exiting effect.

Hello Ram,
Nice en face of this hesperid. These butterflies are very photogenic indeed! Nice colours and simple composition, which does not distract viewer of the butterfly's face :-)

Nice POV and face details. Rarely see butterfly shots with this POV.
The round eyes are looking like a baby staring at you.
