hello goutham,

its a great experience having you back posting regularly, we will be having the delightful macro shots from our butterflies specialist. when i joined TN and looked at your gallery i wondered if i will ever be able to get a single shot like this??? I have learnt a lot from you and this image once again makes me think will i ever be able to shoot something like this,

I loved the focus, the colors, the composition , the pov, over all a high quality image.

excellent work,
tfs & regards
pankaj

Hello Goutham,
all in focus - the whole couple!! Both, male and female are very fresh and nice specimens.
You show them with admirable sharpness and most appropriate contrast.
Question: The right hindwing of the female is pushed between the wings of the male. But what happened with the left hindwing of the female? It appears that it is not fully spread. Possibly the female emerged recently and the wings were not yet fully developed and hardened?!
Best wishes, Peter

Hi Goutham,

Very well captured picture of mating butter flies, lovely flowers to compliment, composition is good, the back ground is good, except for the white patch on right hand corner, you could have processed it on ps3 to avoid distraction.TFS.

Goutham, this is not mere nature photography; it is veritable work of art, man!
The two Mormons are conjoined in a formation that is perfectly symmetrical -- their colours merging into a wonderous collage.
Last but not the least, that bough of tiny colourful flowers adds tremendous beauty to the entire composition.
Thanks for sharing this outstanding creation.
Regards.
Ram

Hi Goutham,
I would rather parrot Ram Sir's lines here "this is not mere nature photography; it is veritable work of art", because i think he best described this fantastic piece of work.
I love the melange of colours involved and the PoV with incredible amount of sharpness and clarity.Overall a very adorable piece of art.

TFS & Cheers

P.S:
Goutham, i noticed it right now on scrolling up... I am a novice, but i would rather check on this with you...with experience you should know better...the slight OE on the right corner...isnt that a bit of a distraction on the composition...cud cloning work...wat wud u suggest?
