Ganesh, You got the butterfly fluttering! It is very difficult to capture this action because one always ends up in blurred pictures. Here you got the eyes in sharp focus with the rest of the body moving as a result of fluttering. Great picture.

Hi Ganesh.
Terrific subject. Very nice pictured scene. I like perfectly selected POV and DOF, wonderful colours of the picture and excellent composition of the image. BG is tremendous. Only one point is not the best. It is long exposure time. However, excellent experience. My best wishes and TFS.
