Finally - the winners of May’s edition of ‘Does My Blog Look Good in This?’. A long time coming for a whole host of reasons including a judge pulling out and one of my degree essays needing completing.
The winners are ranked as the top 3 overall, followed by the top from each category (excluding those already in the overall top 3). Since some of those shared equal points, some share joint positions, as detailed below.
A truly excellent bunch of photographs made even better by the short amount of time I gave you all to submit them. So congratulations to all involved!
Overall Winners
(Click any image to be taken to the original post)
In joint first position is the excellent ‘Spring in A Bowl’ taken by Anita from Married With Dinner. This photograph also scored joint highest for Aesthetics, above the category winner (see the rules for more info).
And the other half of the first position belongs to the photograph below, the excellent ‘Tropical Island Salmon’ taken by Jaden from Steamy Kitchen. This also had the joint highest score for Aesthetics. Excellent work!
Second position then, lies with this delicious little number from Melody (aka evinrude) from Small Talk called ‘Stuffed Mushrooms With Grated Parmesan’, which was taken with a Nikon D100. This is one of my personal favourites.
Third position is another joint win, with one half going to Ilva from Lucillian Delights with the interesting sounding ‘Saffron Yoghurt with Spicy Honey.
And finally in the Overall Winners category is the joint third position winner is the worthy entry ‘House Cured Olives’ taken by DPaul Brown (with the article by Sean Timberlake), from Hedonia.
‘Edibility’ Category Winner
The simple yet delicious ‘Pavlova’ taken by Maia Averett from Maiapapay. Proving that tried and proven combinations still set our taste buds racing!
‘Originality’ Category Winner
Arguably the most interesting category of all, the ‘originality’ award goes to the high scoring festive shot ‘Pretty Red Easter Eggs’ taken by PILLE (food & styling) & K (the actual shooting) from NAMI-NAMI, using a Canon PowerShot A 700.
‘Aesthetics’ Category Winner
Another joint win, one half goes to the half English titled ‘Gingersnap mini-cheesecake aux poires et porto’ taken by Ninnie from Mitaine écarlat.
And the second half of the award goes to the eye-catching ‘raspberry & brandy sauce’ taken by Ales from Preserveless with a Canon EOS 350D Digital
And that’s it! Once again apologies for the appalling delays and congratulations to all the winners - and those who didn’t win too - it’s been great having you all along for the ride!

Holy crap, I’m speechless. Thank you for the honor! There were so many great entries, I had no thought of actually being mentioned… Beginner’s luck?

Beautiful photos and very deserving winners!
It must have been very challenging to decide…. Well done, and all that!

Gorgeous photos all!

Anita: Beginner’s luck or not - you cracked it - beautiful photograph as agreed by all the judges - so well done!
Katie: It was indeed very challenging. So much so that one judge wimped out!
Dolores: I agree wholeheartedly - very very beautiful shots by all.

Wow! What an honor! Thanks to the judges! I feel so blessed, considering all the beautiful photos! And thanks to you so very much for hosting…
Thanks again!
Two little questions: is it possible to put a winning badge on my blog, like the ones I have seen in previous editions? I feel so proud! and, is it possible to know the comments made by the judges? Only if it is not to much trouble.
