[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a male Junonia orithya, commonly seen at urban forest or residential areas in Indonesia. Some other TN friends posted similar butterfly from Brasil and other tropical countries. So, I guess this species is widely distributed in the Tropics. May also found in sub-tropical / temperate zones...

Male has bright blue color on upper surface of the wings, while female has light-brown colors, but with similar patterns.

Hope you like it.......

Hello Ben,
amazing colours! It almost seems that a picture can't fail of this species. But then again, you have taken a pretty sharp image with a nice soft green and just enough blurred background. I would love to see such a butterfly :-)

Hi Benyamin,
A magnificent capture!
I like so much your POV and close approach towards this insect.
Love the clear details got on its wings, so sharp, and so impressive the vivid blue tone on its wings.
A great composition built with the tilt of the subject and the nicely blurred background.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,

Stunning colors so rich and well saturated. Outstanding focus with just the right amount of sharpness well seen in antenna. The DOF is outstanding making the butterfly look like it is floating on air. The composition is perfect and the background is clean and pleasing. Well presented!

Hello Benyamin,
I overlooked this beauty picture before. Very nice composition, DOF, and colours. I like also natural pose of this Junonia species and the delicate BG.
On the other hand it would be nice to find in the note some more details about this species (e.g. its size :>).
Anyway, nice and beauty presentation!

Hello Benyamin,
This is the best capture of this butterfly that I've seen, very sharp and excellent colours. Beautiful soft background and a fine composition too. I've seen this butterfly on Penang in Malaysia, it is surprisingly small and so beautiful.
