Great!

Very well done! Now I can't complain about sharpness anymore;) It's perfect. Also the soft light is very good for shooting butterflies and plants. Direct hard contrasty sunshine would have killed the colours and details. Good composition too.
Best regards, pekka.

Thank you Pekka! In case you do not know, this butterfly is called Common Jezebel (Delias eucharis) and is found in many areas of Southeast Asia.

Wishing you a Happy New 2010.

Arun

Thank you Wim. This is one of my first close up attempts. I was lucky to get this one, as you very well know these creatures do not stay put even for a moment!

A Happy New 2010 to you.

Congratulations

I ran across this older photo while browsing the E-410 folder. Fantastic job here. The Bokeh is great, and I love the contrasting color of light from the background.

I might have removed the plant extending into the frame with photo editing software, because I think it's a bit distracting. But that's just me!

Great work.
