Thanks to all of those of you who took part in and voted on EOTB34.And thank you to @birdylee for hosting. I am honored that of all of the beautiful entries,"Knock" was voted the winner.This is a wonderful challenge and I am thrilled to host it.I encourage everyone who is reading this to participate!
In the words of the challenge's founder, Jeff Walker, this is how it works:
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
For those of you that don't want to commit to a specific set of words for a month, are intimidated by the thought of being pushed by another 365'er, don't want to be constrained to a specific mundane object, aren't feeling the week's theme, feel you don't have the creativity, time or tools for album and wwyd challenges but still want to face down and conquer a challenge, I have just the challenge for YOU!
(Also, if you enjoy facing all the above challenges and can't get enough of challenges and want to add another challenge to your arsenal, this is for YOU as well!)
Here's the lowdown (and its fairly simple):
Your challenge is to find something most people would not consider to be beautiful, and find a way to capture it that IS beautiful, You can achieve it any way you desire. 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. Its not a matter of finding something to photograph, its a matter of finding a way to photograph something that makes photographing it worthwhile.
**There is not specific item you have to photograph for this challenge. And 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.**

PS I am notorious for messing up dates,.if I have done so in this post ,Please let me know! :)
I saw this old coral rock today and thought it would be a good candidate for the EOTB35 challenge. It reminds me of some lives that may seem hard, and even dirty or unattractive but, if you look closely, there is still potential for life, growth, and beauty.
