Hi Pankaj,

10,000 points on the same day as your 150th post!
Well, a double-wammy congratulations for you :D
Superb capture of this Common Lime.
The vibrent orange flower contrasts really well to the butterfly.
Superb POV and composition.
Great DOF and BG as well.
Very well done Pankaj :)

Congratulations to you on both counts -- crossing the threshold of 10000 points and posting 150 butterfly pictures.
BTW, how many different species of butterflies did you shoot and post?
This is a grand capture of a Lime with a sharp and clear view of its lower wings.
I am sure you are keeping your marigolds in strapping health!
TFS and regards,
Ram

Hi Pankaj, congratulations on your landmark of posts. You are very welcome to the critiques on your always fine and well composed shots. Personally I feel you should publish a book on Butterflies and Moths with your great shots. This one is no exception with pin sharp details, vivid colour and beautifully composed on the flower. You have set it off wonderfully with a soft background.
Look forward to the nex 150.

Hi Pankaj,

It is such as I could pick out one of your pictures quickly. You still retain that style in these close ups. Well coloured and fully noted...and of course sharp. One of these days you should again try a landscape before you forget that tricks you did last time..You are a very good all around man in images.

Thanks to you my friend Pankaj for all your splendid butterflies, also this one is wonderful with a superb composition and a lovely blurri BG, very well done, have a good week end, congratulations for your 10.000 points, ciao Silvio

Hi Pankaj!

My best critique is probably the fact I put this picture into my favourites: it's the summit of the art of taking butterfly pictures!

Kind regards

Hi Pankaj,
I visited now your great portfolio as like I make sometimes. Nice to see great posts, especially tropical indian butterflies. I'd like to write to all of them, but I prefer this beauty. All features wonderful, from sharp details, POV/OOF to BG, colors and frame. Composition with flowers wonderful. Thanks a lot for sharing, best wishes
