Hi Paras,
what a glow and what a pretty view of this yellow beauty.
You have exploit the situation very well especially the light.
well done.

Hi Paras,
Colias hyale on Lantana make a perfect couple for an impressively lush composition of colours. There are some blurred parts in the butterfly's wings - either slightly out of focus, or by some motion blur. But with very good handling of backlight you have captured a scene of marvellously rich tropical splendour in those beautiful days of late summer in Germany.
Thank you! With best regards,
Peter
