Good job in spotting this scene. The dew drops look very nice and make this image interesting. Slightly more space at the top would have been even better. What focal length did you click this image and how much crop from which direction? Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Dear Sabyasachi ji
it was shot at focal length 250mm... actually it is a Horizontal composition...cropped it into Vertical (cropped the left side of the image a little crop on the right)...am not sure of how to know the percentage of crop...or how it is expressed

[Mrudul Godbole]

Lovely colours. The dew drops look great and add interest. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.

[Sabyasachi Patra]

This is how I calculate the crop:
Original image horizontal = X pixels
Original image vertical = Y pixels
so Original image size = X* Y

Cropped image horizontal = A
Cropped image vertical = B
So Cropped image size = A * B

Percentage crop = {(Original image -cropped image)/Original image}*100
= {[(X*Y)-(A*B)]/X*Y)}*100

Thank you Mridul for the comments & Sabyasachi ji for helping me calculate the crop...

Wow! Stunner of an image, Hari! Love everything about it. It might be a Coromandel Marsh Dart (Ceriagron coromandelianum)... but you'll have to look it up, because the specimens I have seen don't have the blue tail.
