Beautiful warm colors. The translucent light on the wings is fantastic. Can't help but wondering what this would look light rotated 90 degrees CW.

Beautiful warm colors, love the perch and the orientation with it turned clockwise. The light through the wings is wonderful.

Wonderful shot for one of your first close up shots. I happen to like the 2nd post much better, a very nice color tone in this, way to go.

This is a wonderful butterfly shot with rich colors and good detail where it counts. Great job on one of your first close up shots! I do like the rotated photo much better.

Beautiful capture. The light on the Monarch really sets this apart.

I like both very much Soubhik, but if I must choose :wink:
I prefer the classic orientation for this one.
Well done! :toast:
