hello mr thakur,
good macro,
i liked the dark bg and the simple black framing very much,
it is in good contrast with the light coloured leaf,
the butterfly has been captured with good details,
sorry i do not have any idea about the species,
tfs & regards

bonjour ram
je ne sais pas non plus de qu'elle espece il s'agit,mais c'est vrai que ses couleurs sont speciales.
je pense que vous auriez pu recadrer d'avantage.
le BG est bien flou.

Hi Ram,
A good composition. Excellent sharpness.
Shiny metallic colours are displayed very well; don't know what species this is though.

Amazing shot showing this colourful fly very sharply in focus on the worn leaf. I really like your composition, the POV is excellent and I like the brown background too.

Hello Ram,
You have captured a beautiful species of Blue Bottle with a not such a beautiful life history.
This looks like Protocalliphora azurea. The eggs are laid in birds nests and the maggots attach themselves to the nestlings with suction pads and suck their blood, often leading to their deaths.
One could speculate that the birds that you have portrayed from your compound could have been affected by this species of fly, if not this individual.
This shot is very attractive, Ram, with a fine sharpness, POV and bg, well composed in a fine presentation.
TFS and best wishes, Ivan

In particular the eyes of the fly is impressive, and all is presented in this fine composition!

Una composición muy bien lograda de este insecto tan común pero siempre atractivo para retratar de esta manera.
Buen punto de vista, con excelente foco y el consiguiente OOF, con adecuada iluminación incluyendo el flash y la estética ubicación de la rama conforman una interesante presentación.

A composition very well achieved of this so common insect but always attractiveness to depict this way.
Good point of view, with excellent focus and resultant OOF, with appropriate illumination including the flash and the aesthetic location of the branch conforms an interesting presentation.
