Hallo Pankaj
Perfect focus and remarkably vibrant and soft coloured butterfly. The patterns of the butterfly’s markings are very striking. Technically this shot has all the merits to meet a high criterion. Thanks for sharing this beautiful bird with us. Interesting flower or fruit the butterfly is resting on. It was a pleasure and delight to look at.
Kind regards
Anna

Ciao Pankaj,
sei riuscito ad ottenere una magnifica foto di questo minuscolo Licenide.
Questa specie vive anche in Sicilia, ma non sono ancora riuscito a fotografarla.
Saluti,

Hi Pankaj,
Very nice picture of Dark Grass Blue. Good use of flash that produces a sharp and crisp image. Dark background isolated the butterfly well. Perfect pov and composition.

Hi Pankaj!

I like this picture for the color tones very much, and the blurred background adds to the effect. In opposite to your former and usual postings, I have the feeling that the sharpness is not as perfect as you used us to. The depth of field seems to be quite limited, although you took the picture at f 22. Is it just a personal and subjective feeling? I must admit that I don't look at it at home, I'm in front of another screen...

Kind regards

I feel as though we are coming full circle..and in 2 more months it will be indeed my 1st anniversary on TN....I remember well that this and some by Sumon were among the first dramatically good butterfly images I saw...and I like the fact they you and your images are still here...as if cornerstones of the natural world...Very nicely done Pankaj!

Hi Pankaj,

A beautiful butterfly with lovely colors and wonderful markings. I like the fringes at the edges of his wings. Looks great against the perfect dark background.

Hello Pankaj,

Wonderful view of this kasandra on that bud which is very graphical against the clear background. Nicely perched and you have given her enough room in the frame in case she needs to take off.

Regards,
