Photo Challenge Voting Poll - March '11 "Wildlife"

Chris of Arabia · Apr 6, 2011

Which is your favourite?

Note: As always, it is well worth looking all of the images at their full size, as the thumbnails really don't do some of them all that much justice.

You may notice that in the gallery some files appear larger then 150KB, but every photo included was less then 150KB when uploaded to the gallery.

To ensure that voting remains fair only active participating members of the forum may cast a vote. New members may not be able to vote right away in a challenge due to restrictions that have been put in place. If you cannot vote, but believe that you should be able to, feel free to send a pm to myself or another TPF staff member.

Please keep in mind that we are trying to keep this challenge anonymous (and unbiased) when it comes to both the submitting and the voting. Please avoid sharing your opinions about any specific photos until after the voting has completed and the winner is announced.

Please read the titles carefully in order to avoid confusion before voting. The photos may not be sorted in the correct order so to ensure you view them in proper order scroll to the bottom of the page and where it says "Display Options" ensure you select Sorted By: "File Name" Sort Order: "Ascending" and then click on the "Sort Now" button.

After viewing the photos please take the opportunity to vote for your favourite. Good luck to all. If there are any questions please let us know.

The mods/admins of ThePhotoForum.com may decide the winner from the top five submitted photos. The winner of the photo challenge will be contacted by Private Message (PM) on the day that the winner is announced. If the winner does not respond to the PM within 30 days they will not receive their prize and it will be put towards a future challenge. If we are unable to ship the intended prize to the winner do to his/her location we will provide another prize of equal value.

The polls will be open for the next fourteen days.

Please note that I am not going to add all of the images into the thread this month, there are just too many of them.

Wow! Some fantastic pictures in there.

I think we have to wait for all 30 candidates to finish voting for themselves to start the actual vote lol!

I've no idea why that would be happen Bynx. I can see everything perfectly and exactly as I intended them by following the link above (Win7 & Firefox 3.6.16). It seems that others can too. I have had a note from another user to say they're having some image issues with their Mac, I'm not sure whether that was gallery related though. Can you drop a note to Dascrow, Ekool or 4nines and see if they know of any reason why you should be affected like this?

I loaded Safari and was able to see everything ok. Ive been having lots of problems with Firefox over the last couple of upgrades. I guess its time to switch to something else. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Did you miss the link in the OP or did the photos not show up in the gallery?

They are all very nice, but some are more blurry than others. Could it be just the way they were saved?

When using Firefox the pics just dont show up. Last month someone had to post a different link and everything was fine.

I'm using Firefox and the pictures are showing up, must be something else causing the problem.

Of course people tend to vote for their own pictures, your own "baby" is always the prettiest one.

I dont follow your assumptions cabrosh. Voting has nothing to do with not being able to see the pics. Ive checked my settings and cant find anything that accounts for the pics not showing up, and I mean all the pics, not just mine. I ran Safari once and saw all the pics with no problems. And if you are interested I voted, and it wasnt for my pic. I voted for a better one.

Sorry Bynx, I was commenting on two different posts, the one about everyone voting for their own picture (I voted for someone else's, too, had to admit it was better than mine) and your Firefox problem. Re-reading it, it didn't come across right at all.

I use the latest version of Firefox, and the pictures come up for me. Maybe there's something wrong with your copy of Firefox; it happens. I can't use Internet Explorer, because about half the links don't open. It just has some corrupted file and even the computer guy couldn't fix it. Better yet, it's impossible to uninstall and reinstall IE on a 64 bit Windows 7 system. Installing the latest upgrade didn't help, either.
