Hello Pankaj,
this is a lovely shot of this small little butterfly.
I like how it looks really fragile.
Good composition and POV.
Well done,
Joe

p.s I posted the workshop for yesterday's post.

Hello Pankaj,
Fine capture of the Grass Jewel but not one of your best ones, as the PP sharpnening has over-emphasised the reflected light from the flash.
Otherwise the technical standard and BG are up to your high standard.
TFS and best wishes, Ivan

Hello Pankaj,
Like the overall brownish colours; for the colours generating the blurred background.
Well composed.
IMhO is the DOF a bit shallow; artist is free though;-)

Hi Pankaj!

Not only the butterfly is a jewel, but also your picture. What makes this one outstanding is the unity of the color tones. That's just wonderful.

Kind regards

A great capture of this grass jewel. It is very tiny and you have got it with excellent details and composition. Also your profile photo is very nice. And I was happy to know that she is also interested in nature. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hi Pankaj
This is gorgeous!
The butterfly is like a jewel shimering
The analagous colors(tans) of Bg and plant make this very special with the similar colored wondefully lit butterfly.
Excellent..no apology needed.

Me encanta por lo bien que captaste los reflejos uy colores de las alas. El fondo es muy acertado y la tonalidad general de los colres diferente y extraordinaria.

Saludos Pankaj.

Another? You have an endless stream of consciousness in this area which you consider to be a hobby. You could indeed as many other TN'ers, get work in this area...not photos alone but in nature study as well. You are very good and well learned.

Hi Pankaj.
What an interesting by subject and colour palette picture. I like it very much. The coloration of the butterfly is simply amazing as well as the blameless composition of the shot and POV. Bravo.
