September 2007 entries

Post by **Pete Eeles** » Sun Sep 02, 2007 9:09 am

This is the September 2007 competition. Please read the competition introduction at:

http://www.ukbutterflies.co.uk/phpBB2/v ... .php?t=991

To enter the September competition, please post a single reply to this message (1 post per member). You'll be able to edit your entry until 5th October.

This is also, possibly, the last month until 2008 in which photos for a given month will be displayed (due to lack of subject matter!) and we'll probably revert to a theme (when any photo can be provided) - such as "behaviour".

Cheers,

- Pete

Gruditch that is a masterful shot. Has an Adonis Blue ever looked more beautiful.

Great shot and well done.

Cheers

Couldn't agree more, Colin. It'll be a brave (or stupid) man to post his photo next to that one!

You're not wrong Martin

That's a fantastic shot which will take some beating. Can't someone glue Gruditch's lens cap on so some of us mortals get a look-in?

I've been inspired to try harder since the July comp, when Brian H called me a loser

Just so Gruditch gets even more votes here's a remarkably similar shot but it's not up to the same standard. When I get my new camera however ...

Garys got a winner there, so I'll go for an image with novelty value

An Adonis male on my forefinger from Durlston CP. taken hand held, one handed on Sunday 2nd.
Change of heart, back to a conventional image. same day.

Ah, I have a nephew who's in the police and shortly to join the CID.

Do you mind if I send him that finger print? You never know!

And another thing...with hands like that you've obviously been skiving at work!

I was going to submit a v.close up shot of a Silver-spotted skipper, but as Gruditch, beat me to it, last Month, i decided to go for a different theme this Month. I know it's not a good picture, but at Darwen, it took ages for me to get a good picture of a Wall, as they are really flighty, and this one shows all of it's colours. Also i like the contrast of bright orange to dull mud.
