Hello Pearl,
A fine capture of what we in Europe call the Indian Red Admiral (Vanessa indica).
For us the Painted lady is another species, Vanessa cardui.

The clarity is excellent where in focus and the POV shows fine details while it is feeding with the wings open. For a better composition I would have preferred less space on the right.
Thanks and kind regards,
Ivan

Hello Pearl,
A photo in beautiful clear colours of a beautiful butterfly in a beautiful environment. Excellent sharpness. A piece of the right side can be cropped, IMO.
Regards,
Peter

Hello Pearl.
Beautiful perch and details in full spreading wings. Love the markings on the wings. You did well with shallow focus and diagonal framing.
Kind regards.

Ivan (Argus) has given you the right guidelines about the ID of this butterfly, Pearl. Even I was corrected by him in this respect once.
so I would say that this is a very fine capture of Vanessa indica captured from a good perspective with superb sharpness on three quarters of the subject and with wonderful details and colours on its spread out wings.
Well done and thanks for sharing this charming picture.

Hello Pearl,

Hope you are doing fine. I think we are meeting for the first time so nice to meet you dear.I am grateful for the visit and your comments to my painted lady photo.
As Ivan has pointed out this is not a painted lady but what matters most is the photo which has been captured in an excellent way. I wish you had named the plant too, for I do try and tell friends here about the plants as well. This Indian Red Admiral has wonderful soft, subdued colours. Thanks a lot or sharing a beauty.....take care....warmest regards/Abid

Hello Pearl,
A very fine picture of the Painted Lady, I suppose it is the Asian version. It looks a little bit different from our species in Europe. The picture might be a little bit too centred, but it works like this too. Nice dedication to your mum!
Kind regards
