Hello Peter

This is indeed a splendor!
What a fantastic butterfly in a great composition!
The POV here is excellent - capturing it so that we all could see all the lovely colors and patterns from its wings - the DOF is impecable, creating a distinc barrier between it and the nicely blurred BG and the contrast bweteen the black&white colors of the butterfly and the wonderfull tones of its surroundings is charming.
A GREAT post, my friend!

Bravo and TFS

Hi Peter.
This is beautiful capture.Very nice POV and very good DOF.I like fine details on wing and perfect managed white colour.Pretty blurry background and makes it possible to concentrate on main subject.
Excellent macro-shot.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Peter.
You have presented to us a very specimen of the butterfly and full of content lovely story with attractive illustrations. It even is more, than founders of our site assumed.

The pose of the butterfly and its wings allow us to see all beauties of this wonderful butterfly. The excellent choice of the point of view and composition promote the achievement of the same goal. Perfect illumination of the butterfly and especially the flowers, nice shadows from the butterfly and BG, lovely colours and perfect note.
TFS and my best regards.
Alexei.

Very illustrative ws.

Hallo Peter,
die Farben der Flügel sind wunderbar - so frisch und kühl, gefällt mir sehr.
Wo in drei Gottes Namen hast Du diese Schönheit im fürchterlichen Bombai finden können? Ich kenne nur einen Platz in dieser Stadt - oben mit Blick auf die Stadt und das Meer, da ist eine große Parkanlage, da hab' ich auch Schmetterlinge gesehen - sonst fand ich diese Stadt niederschmetternd, voll, laut, dreckig, ich möchte ungern nochmal hin. Sorry.
Aber vielen Dank für diesen wunderschönen Flattermann, tschüssi

Excellent shot of this colourful specimen, Peter. Great POV, composition and colours.
Mumbai seems to be a good place for chasing butterflies ;-)! I too chased some when I was there this September. The custodians of certain parks in Powai area were a bit rude to me, though. You see, everything looks commercial to the people of Mumbai and they do not permit even still photography without a permit!
My conviction that you had a good time in India is further strengthened after looking at this lovely picture.
Regards,
Ram

Hallo Peter,
Hübsch sind sie doch, die Damen..und natürlich auch der Schmetterling. Das so spezielle Blau der Flügel ist eine Farbe ,die man bei uns allgemein nicht viel sieht.Es scheint so wie der Morgenhimmel sich in den Flügeln spiegeln würde.Sehr schönes Bild.
Liebe Grüsse

Aquí llegó el criticón del barrio, aunque debo decir que no tengo mucho para criticar en esta bella presentación amigo mío.
Me encantan... el punto de vista y el encuadre que elegiste, los colores saturados, pero no distorsionados, el correcto control de la intensa luz (incluso sobre las lantanas), y la gran agudeza y definición captadas.
El fondo aparece correctamente difuso también.
Como en anteriores presentaciones, tus atinadas presentaciones secundarias con imágenes sobre el sitio y los habitantes de la región donde fueron retratadas.
Bravo!!!.
RAP ;~)

Here arrived the faultfinder of the neighborhood, although I should say that I don't have a lot to criticize in this beautiful presentation my friend.
I love them... the point of view and the framing that you chose, the saturated but not distorted colors, the correct control of the intense light (even on the lantanas) and the great sharpness and definition captured.
The bottom appears correctly diffuse also.
As in previous presentations, your accurate secondary presentations with images on the place and the inhabitants of the region where they were depicted.
Bravo!!!.
RAP ;~)

Hi Peter,

This seems very nice with colors, sharpness and BG. The wings of this butterfly seems very slender. Nice to see it:)

Have a nice new year:)
