Welcome to TN, Manoj!
This is a very good debut shot of this mating couple.
The focus on the upper butterfly is better. The colours and details are quite good.
Leave more space on the side the subject faces. Makes better composition.
People would like to know about this species of butterflies, so always make a note. A little research is required.
All the best to you.

Hello Manoj,
Welcome to TN!
A nice capture of this pairing Crimson Rose butterlies. The lateral POV and neutral BG are excellent and though the focusing on the butterflies is a little soft the colours and details are well seen.
I look forward to seeing many more images from you!
With kind regards,
Ivan
