Cloudy conditions popped the colors out of this flower.

Very nice, Balan. Yeah, the brightness of the lovely flower is trying to grab the attention, but this is a nice capture of the skipper. Great color and detail, with a nice soft background.

I actually like both of them Balan. Your colors and DOF are really good and the BG is also quite complimentary. Large version really showcases it well.

Those long arching stamen make a fine foil for the little skipper. I don't know about your part of the world, but around here, there's an abundance of skippers in the late summer and early fall. This is a fine look at this one, with both the flower and the details in the buds making for a well balanced image.
