Re: November 2010 competition
I agree - but this is what the members asked for a while back (see viewtopic.php?f=23&t=3920). How many actually have photos of critters in flight is another matter altogether! I guess we're about to find outFISHiEE wrote:Chris wish I hadn't asked now!That'll be a tricky one!

Re: November 2010 competition
Ah yes I didn't notice that thread. I saw the sticky 09/10 season one at the top not that one further down.... then when I look at it I see I voted on it so I guess my memory is going!
Re: November 2010 competition
Is this open to moths as well as butterflies? I notice a Hummingbird Hawkmoth has appeared. Hadn't thought of uploading one of those as I assumed it was butterflies only?

Re: November 2010 competition
We nearly always get one or two moths in the comps, so I can't see a problem with using one for now.

Everyone must be busy wrapping their christmas presents ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Congratulations to the winners. A tough subject being the reason for the low number of entries. Thought Julian's Brimstone would be the one to beat and I was proved right.
December isn't exactly an easy topic either! Did the people voting actually think about whether they could get images for these themes?![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Re: November 2010 competition
Thanks folks for voting for me, I'm really pleased to get a 1st - and well done to all the other entrants.
There were some really excellent photo's for this competition. Especially John (Fishiee's) close up of a Hummingbird Hawkmoth and Teejay's amusing Brimstones 'queueing' picture. A little reminder that Spring is just around the corner... let's hope. I'm sure both could have won but for my jammy exposure using a 40d and 100ef macro. Of the others, NickB's Beehawk was really good as was Denise's Hummer. I also really liked Antonym's Speckled Woods which had a nice balance and 'painterly' quality to it.
And now for the confession...I didn't vote... oops, ouch ouch ouch! I'm really sorry but I encountered problems with my login details & password, and finally got back in on 20th. When I checked to vote the next day I realised I'd missed the deadline by a day. Really sorry....
