    Thumbs up Vote for my photo!

    https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=3&theater

    If you're a Facebooker, of course

    The winning photo becomes Bristol Zoo's timeline banner... which would be nice... because I like Red Pandas.

    If I win I will give the original full-size image to the zoo royalty free to do whatever they want with... if they want to, that is.



    Thanks!

    Re: Vote for my photo!

    Go on, I'll give you a vote Although I have to say I was torn - that toad (tree frog? *shrug*) is lovely. I can't believe how many people have voted for that penguin - it's an OK photo, but not very interesting...

    And obligatory Red Panda in Popular Culture quote:

    "Work hard, panda, and someday, you will have ears like mine."

    I do like the Sand Cats, although I'm not sure they like their enclosure that much... they seem a bit bored. But then again cats will be indifferent towards anything.

    There are now two Red Pandas at Bristol Zoo, the new one seems to have settled in quite nicely.

    The picture above was one I took a couple of years ago. I was very lucky to get it - the light was excellent, I managed to avoid getting the enclosure grille in front of the lens and Jasmina was posing atop a conifer bush... all on a little Lumix FX150.

    Re: Vote for my photo!

    I didn't vote for this one because you asked me to, I voted for it because it's, by far, the best of the bunch

    Good luck Steve!

    Re: Vote for my photo!

    I went to vote for it because you asked us to, but can indeed concur that it is the best.

    Incidentally, I didn't even know there was such a thing as a red panda! Apparently it's not actually a bear, but rather a cat. Still, awesome animal!

    Following the classification back on wikipedia, it's actually classified as a close relative to weazels, skunks and racoons, as a sub-grouping of caniform mammals that sits alongside Ursidae (actual bears) and Canidae (dogs) - so it's actually more bear-like than cat-like. It it, however, very much not a bear.</pedant>

    Mostly, however, they are unbearably cute

    Liked.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
