    Oh dear... a second surprise and controversy regarding this poll!

    Well then - in a dramatic turn of events we now have picture no 2 in the lead, while pictures no 1 and 8 are in a tie for second place.

    Please go on voting, Ladies and Gentlemen!

    Yours truly

    That's weird...

    Who would honestly want to just assault the competition like that? This is a simple vote for the best picture on the forum and yet there is someone trying to spoil it!

    Sim, does the IP address used in the voting fraud belong to a regular long term member, and if so, will they be reprimanded..?

    Dear NZ Jeremy,

    My creation of the poll "Best Photograph at ZooChat" was intended as a bit of fun, not a deadly serious contest. I don´t think we need to make a big fuss about the voting...

    I AM a bit surprised about the low turnout of voting, but that is my problem. :eek:

    But those ten nominated pictures are truly great, aren´t they?!!!!

    Yours truly
    Dan

    This was an interesting contest and I am flattered that so many people liked my photo. I was very lucky to be at Chester when the lions posed so beautifully. I do regret that we will never be able to watch little Chakra growing to adulthood.
    I would like to congratulate all the other photographers whose photos were chosen and I understand how they must feel because I also came last in this contest - my sifaka shot getting no votes (just like Norway in the old days of the Eurovision Song Contest).
    Just keep clicking those shutter buttons ;)

    Yeah, then I will be in the contest! ;)

    By the way, why can't we create the best photo of the month? :)

    I agree, we should have the best photo of the month so more members could participate.

    I would of thought it would have to be the photo uploaded the month before.

    Keeps us all on our toes snapping away! :D
