First of all, thank you so much for choosing my photo as the winner of EOTB15 -- a special thanks to Linda for being in charge! It was an amazing surprise to see my photo in the finals but even more amazing to receive Linda's news. I now have the honor of hosting the 16th challenge.
In the words of the challenge's founder, Jeff Walker, this is how it works:
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
For those of you that don't want to commit to a specific set of words for a month, are intimidated by the thought of being pushed by another 365'er, don't want to be constrained to a specific mundane object, aren't feeling the week's theme, feel you don't have the creativity, time or tools for album and wwyd challenges but still want to face down and conquer a challenge, I have just the challenge for YOU!
(Also, if you enjoy facing all the above challenges and can't get enough of challenges and want to add another challenge to your arsenal, this is for YOU as well!)
Here's the lowdown (and its fairly simple):
Your challenge is to find something most people would not consider to be beautiful, and find a way to capture it that IS beautiful, You can achieve it any way you desire. This challenge will help you with your composition and lighting skills. The way you compose the shot or the way you use light will usually be the way you bring out the beauty. It will also help you look at your surroundings differently. Everything is potentially a beautiful photograph. Its not a matter of finding something to photograph, its a matter of finding a way to photograph something that makes photographing it worthwhile.
There is not specific item you have to photograph for this challenge. And the only rule is that the subject you photograph has to be something that, if people were watching you photograph it, would be wondering what has possessed you to photograph something so plain, bland, boring, ugly etc. Beauty is where you find it, and it is all around you. Train your eye to see things differently.
Challenge time frame:

Even though I do enjoy all the other challenges you mentioned...I will enjoy this one,too!Every opportunity to learn and grow is wonderful !Count me in.:)
@kali66 Kali, artist challenges intimidate me because I'm not sure if my skills are there yet to imitate a famous artist, but the one you choose certainly used wider choice of subjects and techniques. I might give it a shot this time.
@catwoman2 Mary, I have put the above entry on here but can't see where to put it beside the other entries. I tagged it EOTB16 but cant see where it is other than here!
