[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Gray Pansy, Junonia atlites, is a species of nymphalid butterfly found in South Asia.

These are typically fairly large butterflies, such as the emperor, admirals, tortoiseshells and fritillaries, which have very colourful wings. However, the underwings are dull and often look like dead leaves, or are much paler, which produces a cryptic effect that helps the butterfly disappear in its surroundings.

The front two legs are small, so these butterflies are effectively four-legged. The caterpillars are hairy or spiky, and the chrysalids have shiny spots.

Hallo Biswarup,
a clear and sharp presentation of

Colours appear very natural. Nice composition.

Bonita macro Biswarup con muy buena agudeza, intensos pero naturales colores y adecuado DOF y fondo.
He realizado un Workshop rotando 90° la imagen y aplicando Neat Image para reducir ligeramente el ruido de fondo.
Espero sea de tu agrado.
Saludos... Ricardo

Nice macro Biswarup with very good sharpness, intense but natural colors and appropriate DOF and bottom.
I have realized out a Workshop rotating 90° the image and applying Neat Image to reduce slightly the bottom noise.
I hope you like it.
Greetings... Ricardo

Hi Biswarup!
A very beautiful capture of this Junonia butterfly. Your photographic skills have improved to a high level in the recent past and this clear, sharp and colourful image establishes that fact.
Well done and TFS.
