I am back after a long time. Didn't get time because of work, then a long week end. I had been to home for Gudhi-Padawa (Hindu New Year starts on gudhi Padawa 19h March. So wish you all a very happy new year.
Butterflies are back, mostly children of those i shot last season. And The Common Sailor is the most common butterfly in the air now. There were lots of these available for shoot. I did see one or two common crow butterly (not so common these days) and lots of Lamon Pansy. Near my home, i found these common sailros playing in morning sunlight. One of them was with half wings. H was tottaly shattered. I took some pictures of it. And then found this oneresting on as usual on grass leaf.
I had posted a similar picturesome days back. Here i am posting a different picture taken at different time. I have just cropped and sharpened the picture. This guy took me so much tme that I tired of taking its picture and moved forward. :D thanks buddy.
Hope you will like it.

Hello Mahesh,
This is a fine sharp capture of a Common Sailor, fine ly composed and this fresh specimen is well coloured. Though the Bg is OOF it has a strange pattern to it, which might be considered distracting, though the image of the butterfly itself is superb.
TFS and best wishes, Ivan

Enjoy your New Year celebrations!

Hello Mahesh,
This capture is even better than your last one!
All ain forcus showing sharp details of the freshly emerged butterfly and lovely colours.
Beautiful composition too!
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Hi Mahesh,
Outstanding picture!
I like so much this clear and razorsharp capture of this butterfly.
The zigzag at the background is magnificent, it creates a graphic element at back that works pretty well in this composition.
The vivid colours and patterns on the wings are just great.
I like the high contrast made with the bright areas and the green ones.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
Me best regards,
JM

Hi Mahesh,

Well done

Hello Mahesh,
I was wondering about your long absence. Happy Gudhi-Padwa! I saw some footage on it on NDTV the other day.
I must congratulate you on this absolutely stunning image of a Common Sailor butterfly you found in plenty in your area at this time of the year.
Excellent point of view, very sharp focus, scintillating colours and a brilliant composition.
Thanks for sharing this great picture.

Hi Mahesh

Nice to see you back again :)
And what a charming photo you have here as a come-back!
The details here are very nice and sharp, thanks to a great macro work and the side POV here are exceptional!
Due to that, and also the spot-on exposure, all the colors came out lovely and well saturated and the pattern on its wings is just outstanding!
Splendid composition, framing and presentation, too.

Bravo and TFS
Horia

Amazing sharpness, TFS Ori
