It was such a surprise to win the Eye of theBeholder #73. Thank you everyone for voting for my Lichen patterns, and a special thanks to Ann H. LeFevre @olivetreeann for hosting the challenge.
It is time for the next challenge.
In the words of Jeff Walker, the creator of this challenge, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" (quoting Margaret Wolfe Hungerford who is credited with coining the phrase in 1878).
Your objective in this challenge is to catch 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 bring out the beauty of your subject. 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, but 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, they would be wondering what has possessed you to photograph something which seems 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 Eye of the Beholder 74 begins 13 December 2016 and ends 22 December 2016.
I hope everyone can find time to post in the last challenge before the end of the year.
Entries must be taken and posted within this time frame. I will choose the finalists shortly thereafter and open the voting. The winner will host EOTB 75 ( and have an early Christmas gift!
Tag your entries eotb74.
Looking forward to seeing your ideas and images of what objects of beauty you find out there.
