Hello Fastash
What a magnificent and delightful picture!! How beautiful the combination between the Tirumala and the yellow flowers. A shot perfect in all senses.
Thank you very much for this beauty, dear friend.
My best regards
Maite

Sharp and clean and clear. Well done! Everything is so perfect about this. I love that butterfly is upside down on the flower.

Dear Fartash,
wonderful light, richly shaded colours, perfectly well detailed butterfly and blossoms. There is a beautiful gentle atmosphere in this whole image. I love the way the light is gently shaping blossoms and wings in a most pleasant three-dimensional way.
Thank you! With best regards,
Peter
