Blending into the foliage

ID: Vindhyan bob DSF

My first encounter with the beauty, especially in its DSF(Dry season from), I almost missed it out as its faded form blended extremely well in the dry foliage of the trail. The butterfly seemed to be on a look out for sun's rays for energizing itself in the winter-y morning, and the beauty seemed to select an area that was completely surrounded by dry leaves, realizing upon an interesting point Isaac Kehimkar Sir mentioned in the recent talk, I tried to go as low as possible leading to an interesting frame, the result being this picture

Lovely. The low angle enhances the composition. Good details in the different shades of brown on the wings. Agree it would be so difficult to spot in so many shades of brown leaves closeby. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.
