Hi Kedar, You don't look too much of a beginner where butterfly photography goes. Cheers and welcome.

Though I have been around on WildflowersIndia for a long time, I have recently joined ButterflyIndia. Nevertheless, here are my two photos of the year, though these are very common species and nowhere close to some of the rare ans spectacular posts. 1. Small branded swift (Pelopidas mathias); Sep 2011; Pune This tiny butterfly I chanced upon on my terrace garden in Pune. Usually difficut to click coz they move very fast, this chap sat very still allowing me a good macro. The original photo is much better, here the quality is somewhat comrpomised due to resizing. 2. Common Gull (Cepora nerissa); Dec 2011; Sariska Tiger Reserve, Rajasthan There were several of these dainty butterflies flitting on a bed of calendulas outside the RTDC resort at Sariska. The morning light was just perfect to capture this flitter in my camera.
