Lime Butterfly
Papilio demoleus Linnaeus
Papilionidae family
wingspan: 80-100 mm

I found this one, not so new specimen, in our garden perched on 'Common Sow Thistle' (Sonchus oleraceus). The stalk of the thistle inclined because of the weight of the lime which worked good for my composition. I focused on the eyes and used the depth for clear background. I also captured this beauty from otherside but I liked this one, hope you too like this one.

Hi Nagraj,

Nice to see this lime butterfly in different perspective, the flower buds has been overlit and is bit of distraction is what I felt.

Hi and Good Mornin Nagraj,
An excellent macro from a fine POW with good details and nice BG!
TFS and have a nice WE!
Cheers,

Hi Nagraj,

Beautiful macro shot of the Lime butterfly! Great colors with nice details. The sharpness is great whereas POV is interesting indeed. The DOF is very well managed. The blurred BG is fantastic.
Well done!

Have a nice weekend.

Hi Nagaraj,
this lime is so beautiful and you have exploited it from a different angle. Very lovely to see it hanging on a handsome flower too.
Well composed and i like the blurry background that you have created.
Nice piece of presentation.

Foozi

Hello Nagraj,
I find this both attractive and amusing! I like the way you caught this Lime Butterfly with the wings open from the underside and its head showing between the two flowers is great. Technically excellent and set in fine composition with the neutral BG.
Thanks and all the best,
Ivan

so nice specie. Very delicate shot

good work ;)
