Christ wish I hadn't asked now! That'll be a tricky one!

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

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.

Fair enough. I might do the same myself then!

Gary, John! I never thought I'd hear that! "Moffs?"
You can't go over to the "Dark Side" now....
...use the Force.....

(good idea tho' )

I do have a moth trap I dig out from time to time... been on a Kent BC moth night once last year too!

...already lost, I fear

Voting is now open

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?

Well done to the winners with those great photos, and to all the other entrants!

Happy Christmas to you all!

Deano.

Well done to the winners Not an easy subject but some great images there.

Merry Christmas to all.

Denise

Wow I'm delighted Nice Christmas present. Unexpected against some of the photos that appear in these comps.
Richard

Well done to all who entered !!

Charles

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
