How appropriate i get to host the 66th edition of Eye of the Beholder challenge :D

In the words of the challenge creator Jeff Walker: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"



Challenge Details

Your Challenge is to find something most people would not consider to be beautiful, and find a way to capture it so that it comes across beautifully. You can achieve it any way you wish. 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. It is not a matter of finding something to photograph, it’s a matter of finding a way to photograph something that makes photographing it worthwhile.

There is not a specific item or theme for this challenge. 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.

The challenge begins now, Saturday 14th May and will run until sunday May 22nd

Entries must be taken and posted within this time frame. I will choose finalists for voting, which will follow shortly after. The winner gets to host the next challenge.

Tag your entries eotb66

Enjoy and make those onlookers curious!

Oh! and feel free to pop your entries on this thread to keep it active and inspire others!

It was suggested to me that today's photo might fit the bill. I certainly have had a few strange looks when eyeing up this scene for a photo...

@kali66 Hi kali, should submissions be tagged eotb66 or eotb-66? ( with or without a hyphen?) I saw entries tagged both ways.
