    Default Grey Pansy.

    Found this butterfly sitting on leaves early in the morning. I should have used f 8 or 10 to get edges sharp.
    I like the colors and details so thought to share it. Cropped for composition and sharpened.

    ISO: 800, 1/1250 @ F: 6.3.Evaluating metering. Exposure bias: +0.7.
    WB: Auto. HH. Canon: 550D, 400mm.

    Thanks for viewing and appreciation. C & C are highly appreciated.
    Kind Regards.

    Satish you are your own best judge! My first thought was very nicely composed and just a little short on DOF. The background noise does not trouble me but nevertheless it is there, you may wish to consider applying a little selective NR.

    Hi Satish. Another beautiful specimen! I like the lighting, comp, and sharpness - the softness on the near wingtip isn't really bothering me. IMO the background shows some of the butterfly's environment without being distracting. This is very nicely done!

    Very nicely done Satish. I like all the shades of green in this image, which provide a nice canvas for the butterfly. I would crop from the left to crop out the two leaves peeping in from the edge of the frame.

    Lovely environment for this lovely subject which looks sharp where it needs to be. Nice composition and colors work well together.

    Thank you all for your nice comments.
    Here is the re post.As you have suggested,I have applied NR to BG.
    Jerry: Instead of cropping on the left side,I have cloned the leaves in order to keep the composition as it.
