The lazy flyer

ID: Tawny Coaster

Spotted this in the backyard of one of the relatives at my native place. Despite being in the midst of the hot and humid afternoon, this beauty hardly moved much further and gave me ample opportunities to get good frames, but the area where it had taken perch was surrounded with loads of leaves and flowers, hence tried a shot with slightly wide open aperture

Good details. Nice perch. Liked the way it is so lightly perched on a dry flower. Thanks for sharing.

How is the processing done? Crop from which side? I agree that some more depth of field would have been great. Doesn't matter if there are other leaves, just move around to compose. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
