Best photograph at ZooChat?
Old 14-12-2008

Totally stunned by this amazing picture from rillekolmard Bear exbith in Kolmarden Zoo
I would like to pose the question:

Which is the best picture so far at ZooChat?

I think my nominee is a damn strong contender!

Anyone irritated with all of my "Which is the best...."? Please be patient, I am a sucker for those kind of things....

my favourite photographer on here is gentlelemur, his photos are almost always superb. Hix has recently started uploading many very very good photos also

That is an amazing photograph, I have my own favourites that I've taken but it would be presumtive of me to post any links from the gallery as I've probably only looked through less than a quarter of all 22,000...

He's my favourite too (your cheque is in the post ).

To be serious, we get a very mixed bag of photos. It's really interesting to see the different styles and what each photographer thought was worth shooting and posting. I see something new to admire every day.

i tend not to browse (or post) photos very often, but i do keep an eye on photos from my local zoos...

Current favourite photo has to be the new little lion cub (by Gentle Lemur):
Asha and her cub

At last, this thread is starting to ROCK (thanks, beckiscott!).

So - ladies and gentlemen - so far we have two contenders for The Best Photograph at ZooChat:

Bear exbith in Kolmarden Zoo
Asha and her cub

Any more suggestions?!

I dont think the photo from Kolmarden is the best on ZooChat.

I think this photo is best: Amazonas-Dolfin

Ore this: Bottlenosed Dolphin - 1992

I no, its two dolphins, but Dolphins are not my faovurite animal, the photos is great!

But I think Gentle Lemur is the best photograph.

Animal makes the best photo's all round, of all the people i've seen on any forum. This dolphin is an excellent example, but i've one other photo of the same animal at duisburg that i considered better. It's on my HD, but it's not mine but from a german girl? i think from the ZooFreunde forum so i don't think i can publish it here?

Perhaps i can try and link to it or something...

Oh and just to show i'm a selfish prick, i still really love this photo... made by me, soz peepz...

Ladies and gentlemen - finally we are getting somewhere! We now have 5 (five) photos nominated, for the title of The Best Photograph at ZooChat! In the order of which they have been nominated:

Bear exbith in Kolmarden Zoo
Asha and her cub
Redshank
Amazonas-Dolfin
Bottlenosed Dolphin - 1992

Since I started the thread and happened to nominate a picture by rillkolmård, I have decided to include both the pictures that he himself has nominated, the two dolphin ones.

But for new nominees, however, you must limit yourself to 1 (one) picture, please!

Can we have five more nomineees, please? Then I will try to create a poll on the subject so we all can vote and finally decide:

Which one is The Best Photograph at ZooChat?!!!!

The link to my photo, Bear Exbith did not work for me anyway, I try and add my picture, which is already nominated, so that the link works: Bear exbith in Kolmarden Zoo

I agree with everyone above about gentle lemurs pics they are from the top drawer, and i would like to put this one forward as my favourite.

Crowned Sifaka

maybe proposing this one too is probably too much but damn it i am, if not for the photo comp then surely as one of the banner shots.
