Saturday Sareenity - Weekly Challenge 9

Ran a little late again this week but, welcome to Saturday Sareenity; a weekly meme where you can submit any photo that you think symbolises something calm and serene. It could be nature, landscape, critters, children; absolutely anything.

Based on the voting, we'll have a 'Featured Photo of the Week' in the following week's challenge.

In addition, you can still participate if you don't have a photo that qualifies for symbolising 'calm and serene', but then it cannot qualify for being the featured photo, even if it gets the most votes.

And yes, please do link back to My Third Eye or Saturday Sareenity.


The voting was a little low last week but there is a clear winner from last week. And it is Carole's Creative Corner - Serene Scene.


This shot has come all the way from Australia and the shot speaks for itself. The stillness of the water, the reflections and the tones in the sky, all just make such a perfect setting don't they?

Congrats, and feel free to grab your 'Featured' button!






And now for this week's challenge. 


For those who are new, here are a few simple rules to play by:
  • Do link the permalink of the blog post that you're submitting and not you're blog URL
  • Please do try visit fellow participants; should help in discovering other good photography blogs and in learning
  • You can submit your entries Fri-Tue and then come back to vote Tue-Thus
  • It would be nice if you could follow
  • By contributing to the meme, you give me permission to use the submitted photo on my site and even feature it if its the top pick of the week
  • You must link up to My Third Eye or Saturday Sareenity for others to join and I'd appreciate it if you can add the button


 

PS: 'Sareen' is my last name and hence the creative liberty of spelling serene :). 


Cheers!

Saturday Sareenity - Weekly Challenge 8

Ouch! My sincere apologies to everyone at Saturday Sareenity for an unsaid week long (actually two) break and not being able to participate myself. Work's been chaotic, but good, which is satisfying! Sometimes, passions and hobbies take a back seat, don't they?

So, without wasting anymore time, welcome to Saturday Sareenity; a weekly meme where you can submit any photo that you think symbolises something calm and serene. It could be nature, landscape, critters, children; absolutely anything.

Based on the voting, we'll have a 'Featured Photo of the Week' in the following week's challenge.

In addition, you can still participate if you don't have a photo that qualifies for symbolising 'calm and serene', but then it cannot qualify for being the featured photo, even if it gets the most votes.

And yes, please do link back to My Third Eye or Saturday Sareenity.


This week, well I was simply shoddy not being able to drop by or conduct! So, without much delay, the winner from last week is Marit's - Skjell, which I'm guessing means shells.

This shot is from Norway and one look and you know if probably the most beautiful and creative interpretation of shooting a shell!

Congrats, and feel free to grab your 'Featured' button!





Also, thank you for contributing on the voting feedback...we'll be voting for three favourite entries! 

And now for this week's challenge.

Saturday Sareenity - Weekly Challenge 7

Welcome to Saturday Sareenity, a weekly meme where you can submit any photo that you think symbolises something calm and serene. It could be nature, landscape, critters, children; absolutely anything.

Based on the voting, we'll have a 'Featured Photo of the Week' in the following week's challenge.

In addition, you can still participate if you don't have a photo that qualifies for symbolising 'calm and serene', but then it cannot qualify for being the featured photo, even if it gets the most votes.

And yes, please do link back to My Third Eye or Saturday Sareenity.


This week was great - the quality of photos coming in were absolutely breathtaking. There were at least 5-6 shots that I absolutely fell in love with and could easily by classified as stunning by all means! And the others too were lovely and serene in their own right.

This meant that voting was very tough; even I had a very had time picking and casting three votes. But the good part was that as many as 11 entries got voted, which means that not only was voting turnout good but also that it was really hard to choose a favourite; we all have our preferences given the mood we are in don't we?

Anyways, without much ado, the winner from last week is LadyFi's - Frozen Lilac.


This shot is from Sweden and shot...well, I wonder if I really have to say anything about it?

Congrats, and feel free to grab your 'Featured' button!





I do have a little question; how does everyone prefer voting? Do you prefer voting for just one entry or are happy to vote for 3? Or would you like to vote for 5 entries and want to see the top 3 featured? I'd appreciate your feedback on this. 

And now for this week's challenge.

It is very encouraging to see such great participation over the past couple of weeks. There were just too many great entries this week and I thought the voting will go right down to the wire! This week though, for a change, there are no ties - we have a clear winner in Tito Eric's - Stardust.


This shot is from Panglao Island, Philippines, and to me is simply majestic.

Saturday Sareenity - Weekly Challenge 5

My sincere apologies on the delay this week. I've been occupied with work, erratic with blogging and very slow to respond to comments and visit back. Apologies again and please bear with me; I hope to respond and drop by to see your work soon.

Though rest assured, I'll visit all participants on Saturday Sareenity!

So, welcome to Saturday Sareenity, a weekly meme where you can submit any photo that you think symbolises something calm and serene. It could be nature, landscape, critters, children; absolutely anything.

I'm delighted to know that this meme is getting popular and there have been some great  participation over the past couple of weeks. This week we had a three way tie between Sivinden, Marit and Pieces of Sunshine. Each of these for me are winners this week - the serenity and wonderful reflections is Sivinden's shot Linjer, the wonderful colours of morning and snow in Marit's shot Morgenstemning and the beautifully documented shots of cocoon to butterfly in Pieces of Sunshine's shot Discovery.

However, I'll still have the hard task of having the Featured Photo of the week. And this week's pick, because we have three winners, from last week's challenge; is Marit's entry - Morgenstemning.



Congrats, and feel free to grab your 'Featured' button!





And please do check out the other two winning entries as well.
