Hello Pankaj,
Fine portrait of Graphium agamemnon, though with the facing light one doesn't see the pattern on the undersides of the wings of this species of Swallowtail.
This shot is sharp with fine BG, though I might cropped it to omit the flower on the extreme right.
Your note refers to The European Swallowtail, P. machaon. This species has an Asiatic distributuion.
TFS, best wishes, Ivan

Hello Pankaj,
Beautiful shot! Very sharp on the blutterfly and I like the light coming through the wing and showing up the bright green colour. I like the background very much too but would have cut away the flower on the right.
TFS, Ulla

Hello Pankaj,
brilliant colours due to the 'penetrating' light and good sharpness of G. agamemnon, arestless species which is rarely seen entirely intact. The point of view is optimal. Considering composition, I would prefer to see a little bit more of the flower the butterfly is sitting on and less of the flower to the right (as Ivan also argued). In particular, you unfortunately included the background to the right which appears to show much higher noise than that on the left. Perhaps, I will try a workshop later.
Best wishes, Peter

Hi Pankaj,
you have captured a beautiful butterfly, the colours are very nice. Maybe I had cropped it in a different way like Peter did in the WS, but that me.
The POV and DOF is good too.
Well done.

Hi Pankaj.
You have created a very nice colourful picture with beautiful butterfly and set of flowers. I like the delicate colour palette of the shot and especially of the BG. Excellent selected DOF, sharp and well detailed image of the butterfly, very impressive POV. Perfect done and TFS.

Witaj Pankaj!
Piekny motyl, wyrazny, ze szczegolami. Kolory bardzo wyraziste i kwiatki wspolgraja z kolorystycznie z ubarwieniem motyla. Wiem, ze szkoda Ci bylo nie pokazywac tych kwiatkow z tylu, ale jestem za batu. Lepiej sie oglada. Jakby motylek usiadl odrotnie, to by bylo ok.
Pozdrawiam i gratuluje tak dobrej fotki - Roma

Hi Pankaj,
Very neat image. Very aesthetic image, perhaps -IMHO- too much space allocated at right side [behind the butterfly]; however, as we all know that composition is just a matter of taste.
Nice shot and nice PP works.

Hi Pankaj

The is really a great macro shot and the composition here in very interesting.
I rather like new ideas in composing and framing a certain subject so i honestly prefer your original photo that the more casual one in the WS.
The colors are wonderful and the lighting impecable, the POV is excellent and the DOF spot-on.
Very well done!

Bravo and TFS

Hi Pankaj,
I love those lovely green colors on the wings of this "Tailed Jay". The exposure, sharpness and the colors are very good.
WRT to composition proably i would not left a huge space behind the butterfly, but its more of a personal taste.

Hello Pankaj,
a very powerful and dynamical presentation!
Hard to capture that restless flyer.
Perfect details, I very much like the transparency of wings, and the arrangement of blossoms and butterfly is very artistic.
Thank you!
Best regards,
Peter

HI Pankaj, nice colourful shot. i really like the pose of the butterfly here and all technical is good. I wonder about the composition, I'm not sure all that space behind the butterfly works for me personally. Well done.
