Subash, these are lovely. I particularly like the combination of colors and the 
compostion of the common pierrot photo.

thank you Alan. with a 100mm you  have to get fairly close but then
shooting with a 24mp camera gives you a lot of leeway in terms of
cropping.
do you have any links to the footprints team's sojourn in india? looks
interesting.

Subash, nice series of butterflies and dragonflies!
Great to see all those species not flying around in my area.
I usually shoot these animals at 200 mm to avoid their flying away, 
though some don't seem to mind getting close.

Interesting gallery, Subash, paticularly because they all look familiar 
to me. That lens does well but it seems you have the knack of getting 
very close too.


Then, the Royal Enfield - a British make which became wholly Indian. The 
local "Voetspore" (footprints) team recently did a 3 month tour of India 
& used a variety of Royal Enfield bikes on various stages - a sort of 
promotion too. Voetspore has covered most of Africa but also Madagascar 
& India over about 10 years.


We are down to Covid stage 2 now so there is more freedom. It is great 
to venture into the Kruger Park again after being cooped up for so long. 
Hopefully we will avoid a second spike.
