Glassy Blue Tiger is an attractive species from South East Asia and you have shot it very well using fill flash, Fartash.
This is a particularly fresh and healthy specimen.
Excellent details and colours.
Well done and TFS.

Hello Fartash,
really excellent focus and sharpness as well as great depth of field. It's a pity that the blossom and th e upper left part of the picture are so dark. However, these were the natural light conditions. Nevertheless, a beautiful presentation of this Danaidae.
Best wishes, Peter

Hello Fartash,
This is a very fine picture of the Blue Tiger. Nice composition and lovely subtle colours. I like a lot. Sorry, that I'm so late. My husband had serious health problems and I missed quite a lot of pictures.
Best regards
Anne
