Good moment of capture :razz:
This would make a good vertical crop with less green leaves in frame. :toast:

Great POV of the behavior, I like this.
Nice details, colors, and a balanced comp also Balan.
Only tiny nit's the leaf upper left corner touching the frame edge..
Well done! :toast:

Excellent capture, Balan. I like the comp very much. Nice balance, an unobstructed look at the behavior, and a super nice bg. The backlighting produced nicely saturated colors, but also a loss of detail in the dark bodies of the BF's. This would be my only nit. A little fill flash may have helped. Still an excellent image as is. :toast:

Very nice and I really enjoy the leaves - the composition is quite nice.

Very fine shot, Balan! The butterflies are in sharp focus and quite beautiful. Nice colors throughout the whole image and a great blurred background. Good overall comp although I wish there was just a bit of space above the tip of the leaf on the top. Great capture. :smile:

Well seen, well composed, and well captured. I like the glow in the wings from the backlighting and their placement in the frame.
