Hello Silpa,
A great closed-wing macro of the Red Pierrot. I'm impressed by the sharpness and general technical excellence of this image. The composition and lighting are also superb with a fine OOF natural BG helping to set this delightful little butterfly off for us to enjoy.
Thanks for that!
Best wishes,
Ivan

Hi Iris. This red pierrot to me is the most beautiful butterfly posted by friends in India. The red marking on the hind wings is really striking against the black and white like our common pierrot. You shot is of top class quality. The perch is stunning and sharpness and details are flawless. Immaculate framing and thanks so much for sharing. Best regards. Jusni

And I would like to tell you that your Red Pierrot figures among the most beautiful ones here on TN! The picture is technically perfect: crystal clear, well composed and exposed. Moreover, the colours and the repetition of the butterfly's colours in the background are fabulous. The picture simply is beautiful...
