[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Friends,

This picture was taken two months back during our first trip to Omkar Hills for the season. It was around 8:00 a.m. The sky was overcast and this Plain Tiger was taking rest on one of the branches. All of us had enough time to get a few pictures. This is one of them. I have several pictures of Plain Tigers. But this one was taken completely parallel to the butterfly. For once I could get a decent depth of field throughout the wing.

Regards,
Murali Santhanam

Hi Murali,

Good macro of Plain Tiger, agree with your view on dof, as I always [my view]prefer little space all around would have been better. TFS.
