Lisa-
I though Gruditch had it all stitched up this month with his fabulous Adonis - a perfect specimen beautifully sharp and well exposed. A real stunner.
Then you stick yours in!
Lisa, this not just one of the best butterfly photographs I have ever seen, it is one of the best photographs I have ever seen - full stop!!
Stunning.
You two are a real force to be reckoned with - well done.
Roger

Aw bless, thanks Roger

I agree with Roger, totally stunning. You have my vote.
Sorry Gruditch, the girl has gone and done it again!
Well done Lisa.

Thanks Guys, as if living with her isn't hard enough as it is.

Voting on this is going to be really interesting. We have two perfect butterflies, one a technically brilliant shot, the other artistically brilliant. Either way it is hard to see the Richardsons being beaten this month.
Well done you two.

I only have one butterfly photo so far for September, this speckled wood that sat nicely for my new Sony A100 on September 4th.

I haven't taken a single picture in August or September, Martin! I'm going to blame my lovely, but weekend-booking-up-happy girlfriend.

Besides, if I had, it would have to be a cracker to beat the two Gs!!! I'd like somebody to submit a well exposed brown hairstreak. If you look at all the pics during August, nobody has managed to get the contrast between the bright, white underside and the chestnut upperside quite right.

Like the Specky, Eccles. Lovely flare! I know you didn't plan it, but I like it when you can see the camera in a picture, if you know what i mean... it reminds us that we're holding the paintbrush.

In the face of such competition all I can muster is a Common Blue.

Like many others - hardly a shot in anger in September.
Jack's shot is a perfect for the end-of-season and a reminder of the fragility of life....
Gets my vote!

Ah well, its the taking part not the winning that counts (I don't really believe a word of that

)

Cheers

My dog insisted I change the picture to this one of a mallow skipper in the vineyards of the Rhône Valley (15th September). I don't know why.

I agree Dave Mac, Cris, et al. - we can still give the Two G's a run for their money!
Changed to this Small White instead.

About the only decent shot I've had all month.

Sigma 150mm Macro lens, F11, 1/250 sec, handheld.

Guy, I expect your dog knows more about butterflies than many of us!

Does the pooch ever get between you and your quarry or, as I suspect, is he/she very well drilled by now?

We've developed a pretty good system over the years, Bryan! There was just that one time she bounced off to greet Matt Rowlings via a large tortoiseshell I was about to photograph. It would have been my best LT piccie ever...

But I think he encouraged her. A camberwell beauty actually landed on her once, but she got uneasy as I started creeping towards her with the camera.
