DMBLGIT – The Roundup
Posted on September 14, 2007 by Andrew in Blog EventsSorry for the long delay in posting the winning photos. A double house move in the space of three weeks and a loss of internet connection is the reason.
Salivating over the entries as I have been doing, it must be said that the standard is at an all time high. There is so much talent out there that judging is getting more and more difficult. What is interesting that despite being wonderful images, savoury dishes do not tend to score that highly in comparison to something sweet and sticky so it is a delight that The Passionate Cooks entry came in third with the complementary colours producing such a vibrant image. I should warn future hosts that handling over 100 entries is tricky and time consuming; but we had a ball in deciding the winners…
WINNER: Martin Lersch
SECOND PLACE: Rachel Khoo
THIRD PLACE: Johanna Canon EOS20D
BEST FOR EDIBILITY: Mandy Fresh from the Oven Pentax k100d
BEST FOR AESTHETICS – TWO JOINT WINNERS

Post Author September 14, 2007 at 4:58 pmThank you very much Andrew, I really didn’t expect it, having seen all the superb entries. It must have been very hard to choose, that’s for sure. Andrew, could you please tell me where to get the DMBLGIT logo so I can proudly hang it in my blog. Thanks again.
