Once again, apologies for the delay. Both competitions caught me on summer holidays, driving through Europe. Thank you for your patience!

1. Steadfast, A Nice Pair Of Loafers
2. Tyronet2000, Bread Wine and Cheese
3. GlynM, Pizza Proving


Honorary mention goes to Drofmit, The wheat is in, Mr. Miller.... .

Tyronet2000, Bread Wine and Cheese - what a fantastic first entry. Setting the bar quite high right from the start. Perfect composition, perfect execution. Truly elegant. For me, the necessities of every day life: bread, wine and cheese!

GlynM, Pizza Proving - that covers the 'make it nommy' requirement best. Love the fact that it was prepared and shot for the competition, while serving as lunch. After your chocolate sponge cake, this. If you keep this going I might 'invite myself' for dinner! Using the oven light - brilliant!

Steadfast, A Nice Pair Of Loafers - think everyone knew, the moment it popped up, that it will be nearly impossible to beat. Fantastic idea; brilliant implementation. In addition to looking tasty they look comfy! The box, what a great touch. Simple black background for immaculate 'product' presentation.

Perspicador, Granary Cob - surprised there weren't more simple bread shots; with such a variaty to choose from, each can easily be different from the rest of the competition entries. But this photo satisfies my loaf pic need ! The lighting is a little uneven, and the cropping rather tight; but that strangely suits the subject and just screams 'fresh loaf'. Mhm, crispy crust...

Chris3471, How can one resist, and the choice, wow! - to answer the question: the one covered in seeds; for me, every time. The thing I miss the most in England is proper bakeries on every corner. There is absolutely nothing like the smell of freshly baked bread first thing in the morning. The photo could've used a focus point and I'd personally go a stop of light brighter.

Paulb531, Perfection Combination - my other half approves. If it was up to him, you'd win - fresh bread, marmite and coffee! I like the photograph, but given the glossy surface, I'd be tempted to place the products in such a way, to get a nice reflection of all three on the counter. A nommy composition nevertheless!

Noelcmn, Health Burger - wow...that looks tasty! Healthy food never looks that good; don't believe it! Great photograph. Love the trickle of sauce on the side!

Drofmit, The wheat is in, Mr. Miller.... - waited for it...and got it! Considering thme of year, I was hoping for at least one August landscape. Lovely capture. Du pain, du vin, du.....Boursin strap-line, works well for me... This beautifully compliments the first entry

Just arrived home, have been writing the comments while sipping wine and munching on a fresh baguette with cheese!

Over to you Steadfast; looking forward to your competition.

Thank you all

Many thanks Magdalena for another excellent competition.

In the past I have always had trouble trying to photograph bread so I really enjoyed seeing such a different range of interpretations.

Thanks also for giving my pizza the third place .

Congratulations to Steadfast who's wonderful shoes, as has been mentioned, stood out as the unbeatable winning image. Congrats also to Stan for 2nd, Tim for the special mention on his fantastic landscape and everyone else for another grand set of images.
