Congrats to geniculata and ColinC - cracking photos for sure! And thanks, of course, to all that entered. The standard, I felt, was exceptionally high!
Cheers,

Re: December 2009 competition Strictly Moths
Congratulations to the very worthy winners.
Geniculata's HHM was superb. I removed my best effort of this species after seeing it. Well done on another stunning shot Gary.
Pete's BBHM was also superb. A species that I am yet to see. Nice one Pete.
My other personal favourites were NickB and Antonym, but well done to all that entered. A very nice show of moths.

Well done to the winners, and all those that took part.
I didn't have a decent picture of a moth to enter this one...and just as well, there was some fantastic shots, I had trouble selecting my favourites!

Well done to all the entrants. I was surprised that Antonym did not win with his fabulous Hawk Moth shot

Re: December 2009 competition Strictly Moths
I think moths are quite a challenge to the photographer because during daylight hours most of them are sitting around doing nothing, and, frankly, they are pretty boring as photographic subjects. I like a story in a picture. I gave a rating of 10 to geniculata's HBHM because I thought it was perfect.
I didn't have any photos of moths actually doing anything, which is why my offering was all about texture. I didn't expect any ratings at all so thanks to those who gave it a nod!

Re: December 2009 competition Strictly Moths
My Internet has been down for a few days, how frustrating is that.
Congrats too the winners, especially CollinC loved that pic.

Re: December 2009 competition Strictly Moths
Congrats to the winners, I got 1st and 2nd place in the same order when I voted. I chose the Hummingbird as the winner for achieving a good in-flight shot but my personal favourite was actually Colin's Burnets for its composition, colour and clarity.
