This post is dedicated to Angelina Deans ( angybone )
Thanks a lot for all the great work done at TN.

The species posred here is Peacock Pansy also knaown as Junonia almana.


Its a small to medium sized orange butterfly with large eyespots on the upper side of hind wings, and smaller ones on the forewing.

The sexes are similar in colour and pattern. The females is usually larger. The short wavy black bands that emanate from the costal margins are distinctive. The under side is variable.

Some specimens have very small markings against a light ground colour, while others have more prominent eyes and richer colors.

This shot has been taken when this beautiful butterfly was resting on equally beautiful french marigold flower. Framing and resizing has been done.

Hello Pankaj,
Great shot from a butterfly man to a butterfly lady!
Here you have managed good sharpness both on most of the underside and the visible part of the forewing. Excellent!
Nice composition with the tagetes and fine OOF BG.
Well done and TFS!

Hello Pankaj, this is a wonderfully coloured pristine shot of this lovely Butterfly. I love the pov showing the wings raised and the translucense of the foremost wing. Markings and detail superb and perfect dof. Wonderful vivid and soft colours and very well composed. Stunning.

Ahhhhh...beautiful. I am so touched by the dedication.
I'm always afraid to dedicate something because I'm afraid the photo won't be good enough. :)

This photo is excellent - that wonderful lighting you're known for...amazing.
Perfect detail - amazing clarity - just perfect!

Hi Pankaj!

Let me call you the master of colors and composition! This picture is again the proof for this. It's just marvellous, and although I'm not used to wildlife photography I like tis one very much. I'm also impressed by the sharpness and the richness of details.

It would be interesting to know if you have taken it out in the nature.

Kind regards

Markus

Bonsoir Pankaj,superbe composition,les couleurs sont magnifiques,bravo et merci de partager.
