Hi Haraprasan,

India must have more beautiful butterflys than any other place in the world! This is just stunning - I love the colors and the shape. Details are razor sharp. Beautiful position on the leaf and a superb composition.

Hello Haraprasan,
Very nice close up of this butterfly.POV,details,framing and composition are wonderful.
Regards Siggi

Great shot! The composition with the simple structures are wonderful. also the green gives a soft tone and the blue goes with the mood of the picture. The out of focus portions of lead at the right side seem to be a little problematic,.. anyways, other than that I like the picture a lot.

Hallo Haraprasan
Thank you for sharing this tiny soft coloured butterfly with us. It is really so small it is almost miniaturised by the size of the leaf.It looks as if it was dusted with blue powder and that creates such a joyful and merry feeling. The green leaf and dark backdrop highlight the colour and the beauty of this butterfly. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards
Anna

Hello Hara,
It is not often we see a shot of a lycaenid blue butterfly from India with its wings open. This is a great sharp capture against afine contrasting bokeh and set in a pleasing composition.
Thanks for sharing this beauty,

Hi Haraprasan,
Splendid shot of this small but beautiful butterfly. The blue colour on its open-wings looks marvellous and the lighting is superbly handled. The darkish BG helps in highlighting the subjects and the image is neat and sharp. Excellent DOF, POV and composition. Kudos.
TFS.
