Hi fellow 365ers
It seems that the abstract version of the mundane challenge has fallen away but I kind of miss it. So I thought it might be useful to start it again and see if anyone is interested in doing it. Do let me know in the comments what you think about getting it started again.
Always chosen by the winner of the last mundane challenge, the mundane abstract subject is the same. As the winner of the last mundane challenge, Deb @dejongdd has chosen the new mundane object which is ROCK.
Your abstract image must differ from your mundane image, so you cannot double tag your posts. You can be more imaginative in the use of the item for this abstract challenge. You are free to use any photographic technique you would like to create an image of this mundane object in an abstract way.
You may enter as many photos on the subject as you'd like, but they need to be taken during the challenge time frame to be considered for a finalist.
******* Please tag your entries: abstract-rock *********
The challenge dates are the same as the mundane dates, so we can start today: Saturday, July 25, 2015 and will run until Friday, August 7, 2015.
Voting will take place from Saturday, August 8, 2015 until Tuesday August 11, 2015 and the winner will be announced Wednesday, August 12. The winner will then host the next challenge after the mundane object has been chosen.
It would be great if you also shared them on this thread to help inspire others!
As always, the challenge is open to everyone and I encourage everyone to take part in the challenge – it’s fun and a great way to make something abstract out of something normal.

@dibzgreasley Hi Debs, I had a couple of thoughts and questions about the competition and would like to see what you think. First, why is this competition and the mundane so closely aligned? Second, do you think it would be alright to make a couple of changes? I think that I got confused because the names are so close to the same. What if we called it something like ordinary abstract or commonplace abstract? Also, could we have a different topic? Having two competitions with the same subject was a little confusing especially with the names being so similar. Just a couple of thoughts. I would like to keep this going but would like your thoughts on these two ideas. Thanks.

Hi Ann
I like your ideas especially about calling it something different. To be honest I am not entirely sure why it runs as it does - I just resurrected it in its current form (and you see that people have some thoughts about this) and I don't know who started the challenge either as it was running when I joined last year.
So my suggestion is to ask the community what they think (but be prepared for many different suggestions) and then try it a new way if you want to, as a new challenge or whatever.
Over to you! Be creative and have fun. Go for it!

Yeah, I like it too. Hope we get some cool entries!
Great, looking forward to seeing them.
Does a conglomerate in concrete count as a rock?

Tag is mundane-rock
Cheers
This was fun.
The tag is abstract-rock as it says in the narrative at the very top.
Hope that helps
