Sleeping beauty

[Prajwal J Ullal]

ID: Plain tiger

Spotted this beauty, probably a freshly emerged one hardly bothered by my presence close to it, resting onto the flower for quite a long time. This despite that it was really hot and sunny day. Seeing that it hardly moved I tried several shots, including the extreme closeup shot. Had tried one with narrow aperture, but had to rely on flash, hence this particular one was with natural light(thus the narrow-er aperture)

Nice close-up. Good details. The vertical composition looks fine. Thanks for sharing.
