And the Winners Are...

90 entries to drool over!
90 photographs of delicious things to eat!
90 foodbloggers sharing their love for food and photography!

Does My Blog Look Good in This? just might have reached a record number of entires this month! It just goes to show that the wonderful community of food bloggers is growing larger everyday.

Thanks to all who participated, and thank you thank you thank you to our judges, Fannie, Jen, Mae, and Nicole, who graciously accepted the fun yet challenging task of judging. We discovered very quickly that it is not an easy task to judge each photo objectively. Sure, it's easy to look at a photo and say "Yum, I'd eat that!", but it gets more difficult when you have to scratch your head and say, "Hmmm... the composition of this photo is more aesthetically pleasing than that photo, although I'd rather put this photo in my mouth than that photo, but on the other hand, that photo is so unique, and hmmmmmm...."
Thank goodness we have three different categories with which to rate each picture, so that each photo's strengths can be honored!

The judges and I have finally put our scores together, and amid the sea of beautiful photographs, some sure winners have emerged:

Thanks to Fannie, Jen, Mae and Nicole, the judges, for choosing my photo a winner in the Aesthetics category of DMBLGIT February and thanks to you, Erielle for hosting the event. There were some awesome photographs and I'm sure the job was difficult.

Maybe it's time that I stopped using my cameraphone to take pictures of food. I'm disgracing the art of food photography.

There certainly was a lot of good competition out there. The pictures were all stunning and I don't envy the judges for the difficulty in choosing the eventual winners.

BTW, the link to the next DMBLGIT site should be fixed.
