This was a very difficult situation. This guy was sitting inside a bunch of grass. Made a small path for the lens to get inside. BG is not that neat. I was trying to capture the due drops along with the Crimson tip.

EOS 70D
f/11
1/50Sec
ISO 200
127MM

Good job getting the shot, Swathiraj. The bg doesn't bother me but I am bothered by the oof foreground grass.

The droplets make this extra nice, Swathiraj - well worth the effort of getting the shot. Nice detail in the butterfly head and wings too.
