[Clare Gadsby]

so many fabulous entries for eye of the beholder 72. i really shouldn't be the judge as i find it so difficult to whittle them down. so i'm sharing the pain with you and having a shortlist of seven - you will see how tricky it is to choose between them! you can always click on them if you want to see them bigger, and/or read the story behind the choice of shot. voting will run until midnight gmt on thursday 17 nov, and i'll announce the winner shortly thereafter.

many thanks to all those who entered, and congratulations to the seven of you who are on this shortlist: MB @tahoemb, lisa @homeschoolmom, wendy @farmreporter, ann @olivetreeann, joyce @thistle, liz @lizhammond, and harriet @fpmtngal.


here they are in no particular order, finding beauty in the mundane, the everyday and the ugly:

1. the leaves found a perfect home by @tahoemb:





2. diamond and gold and bokeh by @homeschoolmom:





3. trash can by @farmreporter:





4. rust abstract by @olivetreeann:





5. machine by @thistle:





6. glass by @lizhammond:
