Hi Arjun,
Interesting shot!
Unfortunately this is life. A struggle in which the best and experienced succeed.
Excellent colors and very well rendered image.
Greetings from Germany,

Hello Arjun,

Sad as this is for the butterfly, it is the way of Nature where something has to die to provide food for another animal,
Your dramatic shot is nicely composed, fitting the frame perfectly with good sharpness and engaging details.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Arjun,
I really like this photograph. You have composed it very well, and have captured great detail in both the butterfly and spider. The web is also very interesting looking. Thanks for sharing.

I have been so irregular here I have missed this amazing happening posted by others, Arjun.
To tell you the truth, it leaves me speechless with wonder.
It is apparent the butterfly has been ensnared, but the spider is no hurry to consume it. It is the most dramatic but utterly impressive image of nature's ways.
Both the predator and the prey are beautifully captured in this balanced shot.
Shabash! Well done!!
Ram

Hello Arjun,
Excellent photo of predator and prey. Both are great sharpness and details. Fantastic composition, POV and contrasting colours. The dark/green colours in the BG are so beautiful.
Have a great weekend,
Peter

Hallo Arjun
Both predator and prey are striking to look at as both the spider and butterfly are portrayed beautifully. The colours and details are brought across with great clarity and it is indeed a pleasure to look at such a colourful image. The vivid colour of the butterfly is really "catchy" and the fine details of the spiderweb is photographed with preciseness. Best regards and thanks for sharing.
