DMBLGIT may 2009 ... the results!!!

This may edition has surprised me for, on one hand, less submissions than last time I was host, but (even more) for the very high quality submissions that made selecting the winners very difficult. The winners are really outstanding examples of food photos, something worth of publication.
Really good! But also many of the non winners are to be congratulated since competition was fierce.

Alas, there must be winners and before having the winners, we need judges ... for this round we have been lucky to have an interesting jury:

- Sigrid from Cavoletto di Brussels. A belgian living in Italy that has made the step from foodblogger to food photographer. Without doubt one of the favorites of many food lovers out there in the blogosphere.

- Francesca from Fiori di Zucca. Simply outstanding in her photos. Very influencial and another blogger that uses both italian and english ... just like me. Look at her last posts and you will be happy she was a judge not a contestant ;-)

- Jeanne from Cook Sister .... I love South Africa, I love her stories and her food stories .... if you do not know her blog, good moment to check it out.
- Your hosts! Francesco the crazy one in the kitchen with photography as an hobby. Elke the judge that tastes with her eyes and heart! Believe me, our judging could not be more different !!!!



Now the winners .....

Overall Winner: 1st Place


White Russian Panna Cotta by Vera at Baking Obsession

Overall Winner: 2nd Place


Saffron Yogurt Mousse with Rose Petal Honey by Soma at eCurry

And ... the host pick, which really attracted us and, to be honest, it almost won one of the other awards as well!




Congratulations to all winners!

PS: The gallery is and will always stay here.
