Very nice pic. I would crop it a bit from the right to make a portrat shot. I like the frame. Good sharpness too.

Hi Pankaj,
A beautiful picture!
I like so much all the elements included here, the lighting, exposure and the dark background.
Details seen on the butterfly's wings are so good ones, both patterns and colours.
Well done and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Hello Pankaj,
Nice capture of the underside of the Peacock Pansy, once again the use of flash being optimum without really giving the night-time effect. Good sharpness and I think the composition is pleasing.
TFS and best wishes,

Hi Pankaj

This is a great shot in a number of ways. The contrast in colours is excellent, as the composition. The focu and lighting are also really good.

Hi Pankaj
I like the OOF homogenous buckground. sharpness is pretty good but I am not sure about the composition

I think that you could rotate an image a little bit to the left (for the straight line flower blade - butterfly) and crop it. Maybe i will do a workshop later if you want?

Best wishes
Krzysztof

PS I did a workshop I hope you like it

Hello Pankaj,

This is a very good picture of a butterfly I haven't seen before! The composition is very good and the empty space was well distributed to allow the butterfly some space to breathe. The colors are natural and I love the effect you achieved by exposing the foreground with the flash and the background with the aperture. I think any butterfly looks great on a lantana flower! From your notes I didn't understand on which island this species lives. Thank you!

With Friendly Regards,
Eddie
