Goodbye 2012 - Big FeatureOne more year is almost over....
For me it was a pretty normal year, neither really good nor really bad. But in regard to Photography it was a great year for me.
I got my first DSLR Camera and i even earned some money with my photos. I love taking photos and i hope that this will stay the same next year.
Within this year i got over 1800 watchers and that really means a lot to me. Thank you so much ! ♥
For now i have some amazing photos from 2012 for you, i am sorry that the Feature got so long, but there where so many amazing photos that i just couldn't stop.
I hope that all of you will have an amazing year 2013 !
Goodbye 2012 and Welcome 2013

I just wanted to say thank you to all the people that support me here on DeviantArt. When i created my profil about 10 month ago i never thought that so many people would like my work.

In this 10 month i got my first DD and even earned money with my photography. For me all that is just so...unbelieveable

Journal Entry: Wed Dec 26, 2012, 11:28 AM

We'd proudly like to announce the winners of `dragonfly-oli's and my, =Kara-a's, ladybug-contest.
Allowed were living ladybugs or still life pictures which have been taken in 2012.

The contest went better than expected, we have many contestants and even more prizes to give!

We had 54 contestants and had to choose a top three, which was quite difficult, since there were many great artworks.
But now, who are the top three?

The first place goes to :

=puckcherry ♥

This photo has beautiful colours a beautiful composition and a well focues ladybug. All in all it is an amazing artwork !
Congratulation !

The second place goes to :

=lieveheersbeestje ♥

The green background works really well with the red Ladybug and the dandelion adds another nice subject.
Congratulation !

The third place goes to :

~blameMYGreenSoul ♥

This photo fits it's title perfectly. The red Ladybug floating on flower creates a really nice atmosphere.
Congratulation !

All of you will get your prizes soon. If you have any problems contact me or `dragonfly-oli-

But that's not all!
Me and `dragonfly-oli both have a honourable mention-list.
It was hard to discuss who of you should be in the top three or not, that's why we want to mention you here !

No particular order:

I am sorry to say I might not be able to put up the feature, because I have had my Internet access restricted as a result of disobeying my mom. Again, sorry.
