Anyway, I will try out your suggestion. Feel free to criticize my pics brother, your comments and critics really helps me to click better pics next time.

You've got brilliant stuffs there brother. Personally, i liked the first one.I wish that you had captured the wing of the last butterfly. Never mind, the details there are mind-blowing. Both the pictures are really colorful too.

Needless to say, the floral abstract(?)looks awesome.Correct me if i'm wrong.

Thanks Amith. I know my suggestion might not work as you need to get really close. Hmm, any other way of getting even closer? I have some crazy ideas, but that will decrease the IQ a bit :(.

!! I know what could be the 'distractions' in Lalbagh early morning. So, please stop 'concentrating' on 'other' things and shoot only through the viewfinder !! Btw, I would chose the first one as my favourite.

My single strobe experiments have begun. Flash in full power on the right, 2 meters away from the camera. 35mm, f/1.8, 1/30 secs, strangely ISO details are missing in the exif data for the complete set, its very weird !

Haha, this was with the flickr group. And was shot at Butterfly park. Thank you for appreciating the photograph.

Thank you Samurai San. Yep, have been trying to emulate his style and then see where I can take it from there. Personally, I'd have liked the flower to be a bit more fresh (need to choose the subject carefully next time) and the focal plane to be more conspicuous. But I am happy that you stopped by and commented, made my day.

nice shot, but looks artificial. palm should not be facing forward while walking. it should be inward.

Beautiful click brother. The rainbow looks awesome. I have not yet got a chance to photograph a rainbow. So, it's one of my dream shots.

Started a small travelogue to walk you through life in that 2 days. Off course some snaps will also follow from next post.

Visit my travelogue.

Here is one of my catches during the trip, my 500th post in TBHP. I am shocked to see Samurai san reaching around 10K posts, but yes its a milestone for me.

@ Klub Class , Thanks. Yes the left wing was damaged. I was very difficult to capture, as it was not sitting any one place.
About your current shot, I think a little cropping would have made it even more beautiful. Nice shot.

Thanks, good to know you liked it. I use my almost 4 year old 5.1MP Fuji Finepix S5600. Would upgrade only when it dies or when I get some huge money which may not happen in near future
