Friends,

I would like to dedicate this to our TN friend "Amar Bhaskar".

When we (Myself/Amar/Cesar) (Sorry for not spelling it properly) spotted this butterfly it was hiding inside the bush. Murlai was busy looking out for some birds inside the bush. Amar wanted to place this on a yellow flower to take a picture.We did our level best to move this fella by signalling and shouting. But the fella seem to be old and it just can not move. So finally Amar picked a grass and tried to hold it and asked me to click. I did accept and click click and click.

Thanks for looking at this.

Hello Ganesh,
I have difficulty in holding a plant steady to take such a fine shot as this. So Amar did a good job in holding this and you in taking this sharp shot of this blue butterfly on the held blade of grass. The BG, lighting and composition are also excellent.
TFS this beauty,
Ivan
