I have been somewhat irregular on TN lately. Work pressure and other personal engagements have been taking a toll. Howsoever I have returned to TN whenever I have got time and energy and tried to catch up. Needless to say it has been very very difficult to catch up and everyone seems to be running faster everyday. Oooofff......I am panting, breathing heavy and gasping for fresh air. Still, I am trying my best to be on par and atleast be counted. Long way to go but.......

Today I present this beautiful butterfly. Though I have posted two images of it already but I cannot overcome the temptation for one more. Hope everyone like it as much as I do.

Hello Sumon,
Yes, this certainly is a beautiful butterfly. The photo has an excellent sharpness and details. Great natural colours. DOF, POV and blurred BG are very good. Very nice composition.

Hello Sumon,
nice to see this contribution from you and that you found some time to post it. Acceleration of events and loading with multiple never ending and new tasks should not prevent us from appreciating our environment and all the living creatures sharing this planet with us.
You show a well-focused and sharp picture of this species. So, there isn't any reason to apologize for posting a further picture of libythea.
Best wishes, Peter

Hi Sumon
perfect capture and yet a perfect composition!
I like the BG very blur and the fine details on the wings of the butterfly..
great work.

Nice work Sumon,
Excellent color, detail, DOF, exposure, and textures seen.
Breakfast calls, short version :)

Very nice Sumon how you sometimes alternate between highly contrasted and subtle with almost pastel colourings. You know how to mix them up to keep the subjects interesting and we all learn without even knowing in some cases.
Bob

Hello Sumon,
This is a very delicate image, with this fine cooperation between insect and flower!
Excellent details and attractive colours, skilfull macro work and the subject stands out so well!

Hi Sumon!

I've just shown this picture to my wife sitting beside me and reading while I'm surfing on TN. I said about this picture that wildlife photography is not "my thing", but that especially butterflies are marvellous photographic subjects. Your picture is the proof for that. It's so beautiful and perfect.

Kind regards

Markus

Hello Sumon,
Technically this is superb with fine sharpness, lighting and colours and the bokeh BG sets it off very nicely. If the antennae were in full view this shot of the Striped Albatross would be perfect!
Well done and thanks again,
Best wishes, Ivan

Hello Sumon,

Very nice composition. Very good focus and sharpness of the butterfly. Colours are great also.

hello Sumon,
The Striped Alabatross is really a wonderful and very photogenic butterfly.( I didn't know this species before being on TN). I like the way the butterfly is integrated here in its surrounding, hiding almost behind the leaves. Well seen.
have a nice day
Anne

Now that I have been driven out of my erronous impression about a Striped Albatross, this image turns useful for me manifolds, Sumon.
It gives me immense pleasure by virtue of its matchless artistic beauty and it also widens my horizons about my perception of Pieridae family in India.
As usual, the image is perfect in every respect.
Thanks for sharing and best regards.

Aparte del correcto enfoque, esta fotografía
destaca a mi gusto sobre todo por los excelentes colores, ademas a juego, de la mariposa, la planta y el fondo. Equilibrio del conjunto y buena composición, tal como nos tienes acostumbrados.
Abrazo.

What a nice and unusual specie this is Sumon! Its colors are amazing. I like the fact that this picture looks very natural with great environment, details, colors and exposure. As usual, this is a perfect picture, very high quality work from you. Thanks,
Claudine

Hi Sumon.
Pictured scene is amazing at high range. Composition created by twigs and leaf with beautiful butterfly is superb as well as the fantastic, absolutely smooth and nicely coloured BG. DOF and details of the main subject are excellent. Composition is blameless too. My greetings and TFS. Bravo.

Hi Sumon, this must be one of the most stunning and beautiful Butterflies I have ever seen. It is magnificent and your focus, detail, vibrant colour tones and sharpness caused a 'wow' when I saw it. Beaufiful pov and a perfect compositon with nice soft dof and background. Excellent all round

hi sumon!
congrat to a very beautiful picture!

Hello Man,

Your striped albatross is much better looking than mine. Superb sharpness and details here. The body, wings and head contrasting well with the leaves and stunning against the clear background.

You are an excellent photographer with excellent collection in your gallery.

Jusni
