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 out
Cheers,

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!

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?

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
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?

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....
Julian
