Hallo Goutham
Thanks for your Christmas wishes all the way from Bangalore, India. No matter what the quality of the background, this butterfly is a real beauty! Amazing subdued colours and detail in this shot. I like the long tails, and the powdery blue on the body spreading slightly into the wings. The composition is great. Best wishes for you and your loved ones over this Christmas period.
Best regards.
Anna

Very beautiful butterfly, Goutham.
The focus is in the middle of the butterfly and that's very good...
Beautiful light apparently. Furthermore a well composed shot..

Hi Goutham

I want to say the same to you as I've just said to some other members, "I am trying my best to catch the last bit of Christmas 2008 and with time running out at a drastic rate I have to push to get this one in before the final bell tolls".

A neat capture of this little Pea Blue butterfly. Well, at least it seems like you thoroughly enjoyed your Christmas day. So did we and fortunately sunny Zululand relented a bit and gave us a lovely cool day for a change. This after we've experienced some very hot days (in the high 40 degrees C) this past week or two.

I like the sharp details of the insect and the lovely natural colours. The composition is great and don't mind the BG too much. We all know the stubborn streak these little critters can sometimes exhibit.

Well done MF and TFS.
Regards
Loot

PS. More importantly, I want to thank you for the wonderful friendship you extended to me in the past. Also, I want to wish you and your loved ones a joyous Christmas and a wonderful New Year. May this Christ-fest and the imminent 2009 bring you everything that is beautiful and admirable, provide all your needs with blissful abundance, present you with that which is edifying and inspiring, grant you blessed peace and harmony, and bestow upon you a myriad of worthwhile pleasures and breathtaking moments with close friends and dear family.
