Hello Hara,
We are neighbours!
Nice capture of this Nymphalid butterfly, the Baronet in a fine half-open wing pose and set ai a great composition. Though a little soft, the butterfly and details are well seen as it contrasts so well with the leafy BG.
Thanks for sharing this one,
Ivan

Hi Haraprasan,

India seems to have more than their share of beautiful butterflies. Nice open winged shot with excellent colors and details showing off the lovely markings. I like the pose on the leaf.

Hi Haraprasan

In 5 point scale:

sharpness: 3 sharpness is spoiling a little bit this very nicely composed image of a beautiful butterfly - maybe a little sharpening will help here
background: 5 (nice homogenous)
composition: 5

Hello Haraprasan. Beautiful framing in very good color against the silenced background. Losing out a tad of sharpness in the head but still a very good post. Best regards. Jusni

I actually agree with what Jane says, we're seeing way too many butterflies this year!
Love the sharpness and the POV you've chosen for this macro, HP!
Cheers!
