    Default Tawny Coaster

    The neighborhood on some days, offers a nice sight or two. The resplendent greens of eastern india if not bearing a bloom has a butterfly perched.

    A Tawny Coster Butterfly (female?). Loved the perch. I really missed my macro lens. Used the Tele .

    Pentax K5, Pentax DA* 300mm f4, 1/640 sec, f 6.3, ISO 500, -0.3 EV, handheld, spot metered.



    Thanks in Advance,

    Arijit

    Hey Arijit,
    Comp and light look VG although as usual.....a slight angle towards us would have been preferable. As presented, I feel there is just too much space around the BF. A crop of about 1/2 the space below and right would work best for me.....and you may want to run another round of Noise reduction on the BG as a final touch. Just some options for you to explore. Nice job overall.

    Hi Roman,

    Thanks for the inputs. Well I can do both the crop and the NR. This sensor holds up to crops very very well. Next time round will try to shoot at a slight angle.

    Hi Arijit and welcome to Macro! A 300 mm makes a very good "macro" lens for butterflies and the sharpness of your subject and the pleasantly blurred background illustrates this. Nice light and a good eye-level shooting angle. I would agree that the image would be even stronger if the subject was facing slightly toward us. The tighter crop suggested by Roman will also take the image up a notch. You're on the right track and I hope to see more of your work.
