Hey all - thanks for voting the lovely Moss round the corner of my office as your winner picture - I have stolen the below as this is what we now right..... Copy and paste of the internet?? Been a few years since I have cheated on home work :-)
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 78 begins now, February 15th, 2017 and will end on 1st March 2017...Wednesday to Wednesday. Hope to weeks is OK with you all....
Entries must be taken and posted within this time frame. I will choose the finalists shortly thereafter and open the voting. The winner gets bragging rights and the opportunity to host EOTB 79 :)
