Hello freinds,
all these days i could not access you because my computer gone for some repairs. now its back so I am.
this couple of common leopard I found mating a bit deep inside the bushes, and I had to make my way to get near for a clear image. but this one I took before getting close enough because one leopard just opened its wings. it closed its wings when I closed in for a better closeup. here I have to crop little bit on left and top side of the image. the angle of light was just behind the butterflies, as you can see but the opened wing caught the light well to make it better.

Hi Nagaraj, lovely couple in love with good details and excellent sharpness, great composition, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hello Ngaraj. I have yet to catch these leopards mating and you have framed them well during their moments of the movements. Pleasing green background contrasting well with the butterflies. Good work and thanks for sharing. Best regards. Jusni

Hello Nagraj,Welcome back. This is superb shot. I think the timing of the shot as you can see the color of the butterfly differs frm one another. You can als osee the shadow and there is a slight noise but not affecting the picture. Well done dost. Ganesh
