The colour theme is lovely... The OOF background is nice coupled with the small leaf serving as the perch. The colours of the butterflies compliment the theme... Good composition. Sharpness looks fine. A slightly narrower aperture would have brought the leaf into focus completely, further improving the image. Thanks for sharing...

[Mrudul Godbole]

Beautiful colours and composition. The light is also good. The action is nicely captured. A bit more space in the bottom would enhance the image further.

Hi Aditya,
This is a Jinxed butterfly for me. I still don't have a single decent shot of the grass yellow
This will look nice in the vertical format. Agree with Bibhav regarding the aperture and with Mrudul regarding the space . Was there any chance of avoiding the shadow on the lower butterfly?

I like the colours. This will certainly look better in vertical due to the leaves. It is tight at the bottom.
