Hello Pankaj,
great shot!
That proboscis is very cool!
Superb clarity and great sharpness.
Good DOF and BG.
I like the composition.
Well done mf,
Joe

Hi Pankaj,
This is a very pretty shot of a well-known and much-loved butterfly. Generally I quite like close-cropped close-ups, but in this cae I think it may have been wiser to have included just a bit more space around the insect, especially as the feeding flower is so important to the shot. The colours are very natural and the focus good. Thanks
Alan

Good Luck

Hi Pankaj!


Your Junonia is very beautiful. The sharpness is perfect, and I like the yellow spots of the flowers. They contrast very well with the background and it's good for the eye that some of theses spots are repeated in the blurred background. It's a kind of continuation.

Kind regards

Markus

Ciao Pankaj,
oggi ci mostri un'altra superba immagine di Junonia atlites.
Quello che più mi piace è la composizione, con i piccoli fiori di lantana, che contrastano magnificamente con le ali scure della farfalla e lo sfondo verde.
Complimenti,
Marcello

Nothing like a little Pankaj magical photography to get my blood going on a cold winter day here in the US...Did you see Fartash's picture? He did well....this is the classic Pankaj I know so well now..very good...

Hello Pankaj,
Very nice close up of the U/S of a Grey Pansy.
Here the fill-in flash is expertly used to light up the butterfly without darkening the BG. Nice sharpness and compositon with the lantana flower.
Thanks for sharing this one,
Regards, Ivan

Hello Pankaj,
wonderful reproduction of the distinct colour pattern of the butterfly. Great depth of field achieved by f/18 showing the entire butterfly - from wing margins to the antennae - with excellent sharpness. Beautiful composition.
Best wishes, Peter

Hello Pankaj,
A very fine image of the Grey Pansy on the Lantana. Excellent focus on the eye the antennae and the rolled-up proboscis. Fine details of the wings and a nice contrasting background.

Gorgeous angle of light and wonderful details. There's something about your work...its almost as if the light comes from inside the subject.Just beautiful!
