great posing of the subject, nice light green backgrounds. Also, full marks for breaking new ground and shooting something other than plain tigers

Wah. U got a lot of insects/butterflies that I have not seen b4. Guess I am not observant enough when I am there. Anyway good capture of the butterflies. I like the composition of the third shot though it was not at its natural habitat.

Megaweb,
Very nice blurred background. I can never get such nicely blurred background with digicam. The 1st photo is a male Baron (Euthalia aconthea gurda). Horsfield's Baron is a forest butterfly so you will not find it at AH though we would love to have it there. The Green Baron (E. adonia) you shot is a female. Both are very shy and rare butterflies. They feed on fruits so you will not find them on the Lantanas at AH  Last edited by Green Baron; 26th January 2003 at 07:54 PM. |

The 1st series is simply perfect, especially the background. However, in the 2nd series, the black background patch beside the wings on the 3rd shots and the 2 red background patches beside the wings in the 4th shot of the 2nd series marred the otherwise perfect shots. Whatever the case I always admire and wish I could even shoot 20% as well as megaweb. Thanks for the wonderful pics, they are always a sorce of inspiration for me. Cheers |

The males are more common and are usually darker. They have sharper forewings and smaller white spots. |
