Nice. I like the lower perspective. There is a blue object at the lower right side which attracts attention. It would have been good without that. What was the aperture selected? Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Nice image. I would have liked some more space on the left and right margins. This image would also look good if cropped like a panorama. The out of focus foreground and the bit of blue plastic can be avoided that way.

The low angle is nice. I agree a pano crop would look good. You could have tried a further narrower aperture. Thanks for sharing.

Well captured photograph of an interesting behavior. I love the butterfly colours, sand and background. I agree with Sabyasachi on blue plastic.

Common Lime Butterfly (Papilio demoleus) is a common butterfly found laying the eggs in citrus (Lime) plants. You can also see the caterpillars thrive on the leaves of citruses.
