Oh my, this is going to be a difficult decision!

If you have not voted yet, do so now. Once you vote you can see the totals so far. One picture is clearly in the lead, with more than double the votes of the nearest competitor, but you will have to vote to find out who it is.

I thought very carefully before placing my vote. There were three photographs which really stood out to me and I wanted to make sure I went for the absolute best one. Surprisingly, the current leader wasn’t one of the photographs on my shortlist.

Zoochat just does not do photography.

36 votes?? If it was a poor snapshot of an enclosure with no animals visible would it get more views?

I don't get it. I mean, I do get quality photography, but I' appear to be in minority on here..

Only 36 votes? That is disappointing.

41 votes now.

The photo that took an early lead is still in the lead, but we have three days left. Who will the winner be? If you have not voted yet, please do it now.

My nomination is second, as it has been since people started voting!

 

[Welsh Zootographer]

Slowly the votes are coming in, we're up to 44 now.

I have to say @ro6ca66, you take a decent Yellow Throated Marten photo. It won my vote as I could well imagine an enlarged version of this photo framed in the office of those at Twycross Zoo who curate the animal.

 

[agnmeln]

Runaway winner here, I think!

 

[Welsh Zootographer]

Not sure about runaway, the gap has been slowly closing.

 

[agnmeln]

My favourite is currently in second place, so I’m hopeful!

 

[robking1991]

Voted my favourite also in second place though haha!

 

[FunkyGibbon]

I've edited the thread title to hopefully draw a few more voters in.

 

[Arizona Docent]

The leading photo is still ahead with 15 votes, but now we have two tied for second at 11 votes each. They are catching up, so things could change over the next 24 hours.

Looks like it’s all still to play for! Not much in it at all!
