2010/11 out of season themed competition category's

[Gruditch]

As the Photoshop category, which was well supported last year with 23 entries, has turned out to be a one hit wonder. I thought it could be a good idea to run a poll with a dozen category's, with the top six making up the 2010/11 out of season themed competition category's.

You have six votes, and the poll closes at the end of March.

Interesting thought "best blue of the season".... what about, one year, doing best blue, white, skipper, hairstreak etc etc etc over the winter months??... the winners would be wonderful sight!

I'd like that but there are only two Hairstreak here, Purple and Green Hairstreak and the Purple is rare and I doubt I'll be seeing any this year, so I'd like to enter competitions and probably couldn't with that. Also Dingy Skipper is only found in Fermanagh here and I doubt I'd be going there this year, so minus those, I'd be ok with rest.

Had an idea about a themed competition with photoshop...butterfly book cover. If you were creating a butterfly book about something to do with butterflies and you had to design the cover and this would be it.

As voted for by you, these will be the category's for the next set of themed out of season competitions 2010/2011.

Butterflies and their food plants
Caught in flight
Camouflage
Immature stages
More than one
Strictly Moths

So when you out with the camera this season, bear these themes in mind, and best of luck, especially with the Butterflies in flight.
