Hello Pankaj,
An attractive composition with this great butterfly!
Excellent details in the wing pattern, attractive silky-crisp texture...
Good natural colours, and the background is nicely enhancing the subject!
Greetings,
Pablo -

I'm beginning to be able to pick your photos out of a crowd. You have a distinctive style - a very specific way of composing that is uniquely your own. IT's wonderful to have such a great trademark as an artist. A wonderful shot!!

I humbly believe that the perch helps make this a great image Pankaj, It fits in well with the season. for a fast butterfly you moved very quicly. You were successful in capturing the "beast". Very delicate and nicely framed.

Hello Pankaj,
Excellent flash capture of the Gram Blue with good sharpness and colours in a fine composition. The use of flash has resulted in a dark contrasting BG that is not too dark.
TFS and best wishes, Ivan
