Hello Haraprasan,
a clear, sharp and detail-rich picture of boeticus.
Optimal point of view and focus.
Interesting well-balanced light.
Best wishes, Peter

Patterns HP! Patterns is the key word of this image...both in the wings and in the OOF background where they are more diffuse....Patterns...all things are patterns until we get down to the very smallest and then all becomes "fuzzy logic".

Hi Haraprasan,

This butterfly is one of the most beautiful I have seen. I think this is the first one I've seen. The soft colors and the wonderful patterns of the markings are lovely. Excellent shot showing off just how exquisite it is.

Hi Haraprasan,
Wow, what a beautiful butterfly and obviously one with a perfect escape colouration and pattern. Those two prominent eyespots at the lower hind part of the hindwing, together with the two antenna like structures will fool any potential predator to attack the wrong quarter! Your expertly capture also provides a fine lesson in predator avoidance, my friend.
Cheers,
Mehmet

Hi Haraprasan,

Will be back later...

This tiny butterfly is actually very good looking with those spots on the hind wing and the tails just behind them.
From your point of view, you have captured this specimen in sharp focus. The patterns, colours and designs on its wings are very well recorded.

Hi Haraprasan,
Wonderful shot of this tiny Peablue perched precariously on that leaf. Lovely colours and sharpness with superb lighting. I like the natural surrounding. Excellent POV and composition. Kudos.
TFS.

Great sharpness, detail, and DOF HP.
Good POV and comp too :)
Well done,
Howard

Hi Haraprasan,
Beautiful butterfly.
Couple of eyes in the back too. That's why it is so difficult to catch these small and quick butterflies. That's what we thought when we were kids.
TFS.

Hallo Haraprasan
What a wonderful display of colours and patterns in one. The lighting is perfect and also the focus. The butterfly is placed precisely right in the frame and the colours and markings are superb and can easily go through as a hand painted job. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards
Anna
