Re: June 2008 Votes
Three cheers for Denise!!
Don't be shy - more people liked your June entry than any other photo submitted. You've obviously got an eye for what makes a good piccie so I think you should share!!

I voted for you too! Well done - from a member of the "Lanterne rouge" club (Ask Pete!)Denise wrote: I was quite embarrassed when not one person actually admitted that they voted for me

Re: June 2008 Votes
Gary - Thanks for the useful critique - completely agree with you! (Brimstones were a bit tatty and it was my first real attempt at high-speed freeze-frame - still learning, as I guess we all are). Can only concur that the standards in this forum are now SO high it makes other non-specialist professionals who take the odd butterfly picture and exhibit them look like rank amateurs!
I also think that we (the photographers) are often the worst judges of what we should post as entries - I'm sure we all have potentially better images to use than the one's we eventually use and often make the wrong choices!

You are so right.
There are a number of people on these forums that regularly post blindingly good photographs during the month, and then place something just averagely good in the competition.
Perhaps we see different things in our own photographs than others?
We may have a personal bias towards a particular photograph of our own due to associations with the day it was taken on, or even how much you "like" a particular species.
I have one photograph that I have always been very proud of, yet others see as just "OK", and I have finally realised that it was because of the efforts I put into taking it, and not the actual result!

Re: June 2008 Votes
hmm, thinking on what you said there Roger, I can say I am probably one of those guys who takes a good image and replaces it with one thats slightly worse, then I realise it after its too late to change it.
