Common Lime

[Bhargava Srivari]

The telephoto lens I use is no good for macros. Nonetheless, butterflies are too tempting to keep away from!

Very nice, Bhargava. I like the environment. Nice colours in the image. I agree that Lime Butterflies are very tempting to shoot . Telephoto lenses actually work great for butterflies, since many of them are too skittish to approach with a true macro lens. I used to shoot a lot of butterflies with the long zoom on my Canon Powershot SX10 (I still use it occasionally). Haven't tried many butterfly shots with the 100mm.

The habitat is nice. Good colours. Maybe placing it a bit higher in the frame would have been good. Thanks for sharing.

I agree with Abhishek. It is not easy to chase butterflies with a 100mm as some of then fly away even before you are a few meters away. I like the colours. Some more space at the bottom would have been better composition wise, but I am not sure if the background would be well diffused. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
