[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This shot of Common Line Blue butterfly is for my dear daughter who is celebrating her 7th birthday today. She helps me in spotting the butterflies and shares my passion for photography. I would love to see her using my DSLR soon.

Common Line Blue is a small blue butterfly with a wingspan of 20-24 mm. Its widely distributed and is found all year around.

I found this one resting on the floor and this shot has been taken with the camera on the floor parellel to the level of butterfly and i was flat on my belly to shoot this picture.

Raw to jpeg, resizing, cropping and framing done .

Hi Pankaj!

Let me embrace her and wish her a happy birthday! It seems she is not only a great fan of her father, but also already a good assistant!

And congratulations to her father for this nice picture held in amazing, soft and tender color tones, ideal for a dedication to a young lady!

Hi Pankaj,

Perfect angle for capturing details of this small butterfly's wings with this thin DoF.
I notice that a lot of similarity in insect species in Central India and Western Part of Indonesia.
