"The Black Eyes Beauty", a photo from Kanchanaburi, Central

Photographer's Note

This Butterfly was taken in Erawan National Park, near the parking area.
I guess it's depending on the seasons to see them.

I saw a lot of butterflies and it was not easy. But I managed.
Only a few good ones, the rest are very blurry.

As usual, I do not know the name of this butterfly.
I shall ask the expert , our friend Luciano :-)

I think if I'm not wrong, I've posted this butterfly before , from My Son Sanctuary.
According to Luciano, the species is a Graphium eurypylus cheronus (The Great Jay).
Am I right?.......

Thank you for looking.

Hello Loong, a little blurred maybe, but we still get a good impression of this wonderful butterfly feeding on the flower.
The bright patterns and colours make this stand out in the thumbnails.
Thanks for sharing, kind regards, Jean.

Hello Loong,
If you had told the butterfly to stop flapping its wings, this could have been a perfect photo. Now it's just very good. We get a fine view of its beautiful pattern and colours, and its head and body are nicely sharp, and so is the flower. The combination of butterfly and bright flower is very eye-catching and the blurred vegetation provides a good background.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Loong,

The butterfly head seems perfectly sharp but the wings ... just show motion blur! Possibly shaking in response to the quality of the nectar!!!
You used shallow dof well to make the butterfly and the flower stand out very well against the blurred b/g.

Have a good w/e,
Bev :-)

Hello Loong,
An excellent photo of this beautiful butterfly. Very sharp with a nice blurry effect of its moving wings. The flowers looks great too.

Hello Loong,

Photographing of butterflies is a specialty, I've different years the butterfly garden brought a visit, I know what is difficult.
Nice sharp an perfect of colour.
Excellent composition and good presentation too.
Very well done, TFS.

John.

Hello Loong,
I missed seeing this butterfly when I was in Kanchanaburi at the end of 2019 ... I have to go back :)
You've captured this small beautiful insect at the moment of landing on the flower or perhaps when it wanted to fly away. Therefore we see in this particular position.
The large eyes, antennae and legs are central here in the picture.
Great shot with a good blurred background.
Best regards, Paul

Pozdrav.
Interesantan i lep pogled, lep trenutak, dobar tekst ...
Lep leptir na cvetu, dobro pokazano sa lepim bojama, kontrastom i uhvacenim trenutkom.
Lepa fotografija u radionici i krila leptira sa lepim detaljima.
Volim da snimam leptire ali mi slabo uspeva, brzo lete i kratko se zadrzavaju na cvetovima.
Zelim vam lepu i mirnu noc, sve najbolje.
