Hi Fartash,

Beautiful shot of this Plain Tiger on the beautiful red flowers. The butterfly is razor-sharp showing off the wings and their lovely markings perfectly. The excellent colors stand out from the dark background.

Hi Fartash,
Nice shot of your Tiger, and not the "plain" old ferocious kind ;-}
Good detail, DOF, POV, BG, colors, and use of flash..
I really like that red flower too :)
Howard

Hello Fartash,
Well done. Well composed.
Good sharpness. Beautiful butterfly..

Hi Fartash,
good to see your image.
good composition, since the tiger is almost parallel you could have opted for f5.6 or f8 to make the BG more diffused and plain. That would have lifted the tiger from the BG.
thanks for sharing.
nagraj.v

very nicely done, fartash.
agree about the aperture with nagraj
great shot nontheless

Oh yes! I saw one today and would you believe I didn't have a camera!!! How bad of me...mine was a swallow tail but very similar in design and size...Great capture Fartash...You are such a great contributor!

The frame probably could have been better. But the image view is perfect. Ganesh

Hi Fartash.
You have pictured a very nice scene. I like colourful image of a butterfly on and fine red flower on dark green smooth BG. DOF is selected greatly. Lights and colours are wonderful. Composition of the shot is disputable a little bit. My compliments and TFS.

Hello Fartash,
A fine sharp capture of a Plain Tiger seen with closed wings from a great side POV. The technical aspects and the composition of the red flower against an OOF natural BG and excellent.
Sorry I missed this beauty earlier my friend, and TFS!
Best wishes,
Ivan

Hi Fartash,
