This image was taken during a recent photowalk at the Ovalekar Wadi Butterfly Garden in Thane, India.

C&C welcome.

That is beautiful! Excellent Shot!!!

Now there's an unusual treatment - but I like it.

I am intrigued by whatever it is perched on though, what is it?

The highlight on the 'pipe' like part above the butterfly might benefit from toning down a little though, just so it doesn't attract as much attention.

Best regards, Dave

Interesting shot Ashish May I ask how you got that light between the wings?

[IzzieK]

Excellent shot, Ashish...good lighting...

[joebranko]

Great shot! The direction of the lighting allows the structure of the wings to be clearly seen.

[FootLoose]

Definitely not the conventional bug shot! Good use of backlighting Ashish

Thanks Binnur... This image was taken during a recent photowalk at a nearby butterfly garden. I and my friend Shannon (who is also a CIC member) were working as a team. We decided to backlight the butterfly and he held the remote flash while i took the shot. Since the wings were slightly apart the internals were lit up much brighter than the outer surface. Hope i have been able to explain it right? Cheers!
