DMBLGIT June 2009 Winners



Before I begin, I owe you all appologies for the delay of this month's results. I had a number of technical problems these days :) I am staying at my country house for the summer and last ten days there was such a bad weather and floods all over Serbia and we had no electric power almost all the time. Then, I started to experience internet connection problems and it took me some time to figure out what was wrong with my modem :P Anyway, thank you for being so patient.

We had total of 55 entries this month. You can view them all in the gallery.

And now, the winners:

Overall Winners: The overall winners have the highest scores in all three categories combined.

nema mi druge nego ubuduce pravit kekse i poslagat ih u kulice i hrpice (po mogucnosti vezati ih masnicom) i sve osvjetlit umjetnim svjetlom, sto jacim to bolje.:P
potpuno sam razocarana izborom fotografija... sve su iste... hrpa keksa poslagana jedan na drugoga... vec videno toliko puta... najbolja fotka (po mom misljenju) dobila je tek nagradu za originalnost
zao mi je ako sam mojim komentarom nekog uvrijedila... samo, eto, izrazavam svoje misljenje

Monika said...

congrats to all the winners...the competition was tough and it wasn't easy to choose the best photos :)

@monsoon, ljepota je subjektivna, no dobra tehnička izvedba nema veze s tim što je na fotki i ima li na sebi mašnicu...kvalitetna tehnička izvedba ponajviše ima veze s kompozicijom (jesi li ikad čula za pravilo trećina?) i osvjetljenjem kojim se postižu određeni efekti(inače, profi fotografi u studijima koriste isključivo umjetno osvjetljenje...znači li to da su njihove fotke zbog toga loše?)...imati dobar fotić nije dovoljno za dobru, lijepu i tehnički korektnu fotku...

Y said...

Thanks very much for the award, Marija, and the rest of the judges!

Alejandra said...

What gorgeous photos!

branka said...

Meni osobno nije uopce vazno da li neka fotka ima kompoziciju ili ne, vbecinu ideja puno cura krade sa drugih bogova ili slicno i na kraju glume bogove i eksperte slika,
ja nemam pojma sto je tehnicki ispravno niti imam prvoklasne slike,
ali znam sto je lijepo i prirodno....odnosno jestivo ;)
Umjetno svijetlo me ne privlaci niti mrvice,
a cure, koje dijelite savjete drugima i solite pamet, pa pogledajte svoje slike od prosle godine...stvarno su pune kompozicije i svega drugoga, pa pobogu, toliko su mutne i neuredne da se na njima nista ni ne vidi ;)
