[Bibhav Behera]

This one was shot on our campus in January...

Nikon D80 with 18-135mm
EXP 1/250
F 5.6
ISO 160

I wanted this one identified. Thanks. I've got an image too, will post it soon.
Great shot. Why not a higher Tv?

[Bibhav Behera]

Light wasnt too helpful, so i'd set the shutter speed at 1/250. Didn't want to pump up the ISO. Although could have used 200, I guess. This was taken in full manual mode.

The wing blur is interesting. I would try a lower angle.

Lovely colours. The details and the wing blur is interesting. Would have loved some more space at the bottom to include the whole flower.

Keep posting..

Mind blowing colors. Though you remove the subject from here, you get good photo with full of colors at background.

It becomes confusing, what should be the point of interest here?
Some say about more space, wing blur, aperture, colors, composition, angle etc etc.

After all these are the colors (thoughts) of human mind . And of course creation of nature itself. All this helps us to become perfect.

Hi Bibhav!
The blurred wings look great ,esp with the tack sharp eyes and body.
The yellow flower in the background is distracting , but then butterfly photography is not an easy game ! May be a tight vertical crop will work better, even if you have to cut the pink flower in half.
This seems to be a tailed jay.
