I think that
hermes2015 has come up with a great theme for the new competition.
QuotePlease submit up to three photos of any decayed or weathered surface that you find beautiful. It can be any material: metal, plaster, paint, food, [or] any photos that show beautiful decayed objects on the macro scale as well. These may be ruins of castles, old cars, spouses, etc.
Entries will be accepted up until the 23rd of July. Please PM them to me, or if you really prefer email use the email address in my profile.
Thank you,
hermes2015 for the splendid theme. :thumbsup:
Bumping, as one does. And will do, every few days. :whistling:
I may have to submit a selfie of my face 'cause it is weathered and deteriorated. Aw hell, I just remembered, it is not beautiful ....never mind.
Emailed one from my wife ;-)
Thank you. I was going to bump this thread today, anyway. :blue smiley:
No hairy green oranges in my fruit bowl (for a change), everything in the fridge looks, and smells, good . . .
Hmm, there's a few hundred pics on the old archive drive - there were those mushrooms that looked like flowers, maybe the odd rusty old something.
Yeah, it's that beauty clause that's the hurdle.

But beauty is in the eye of the beholder so that shouldn't be a problem.

Yes, I agree. Perhaps we should substitute "beauty" with "interesting" or "startling"?
*Bump*
Only a few more days left to submit your splendid images of Beauty in Decay for this challenge. :)

Oh dear, perhaps my theme was not such a good idea after all!

I think it was brilliant!
Just bloody difficult to find the time to seek subjects. Loads of rusty stuff, but hardly any beauty (in my eye).
Tell yer what, make this one for a "Winter Solstice Competition", or something, and go for something more mundane for each month.
Not holiday snaps though, some don't have holidays!
I will offer, "An unusual point of view",
anything from a viewpoint one would not normally see or use.
oh no I totally forgot! It's a great subject, I still have 3 more days I hope I find something
Perhaps I should send a photo of my wife ;).
Will accept any photos for about another 24 hours. :)
Putting together the photo challenge poll now. We have a really fine selection for this one, but I will accept last minute entries up until I post the poll (which may not be until tomorrow).
Think I have a better understandibg now, thought Recusant was bumping due to poor response. :redface:
I was just reminding folks that the entry period was still open, and of the contest in general. In fact, if anybody has something that they just weren't able to get to me in time, I'll still accept entries for another day. Of course I won't change the poll results that have already come in, but in this poll people are allowed to change their votes, so not a huge penalty. This is in keeping with my policy in previous photo challenges that I've been responsible for; nobody has ever taken me up on it by submitting images after the poll was posted, but there's always a first time. ;)
Haven't looked but is there a gallery of past winners?

That's an excellent idea, but no, there isn't. May consider trying to put one together in an idle moment.

Idle moment? I had one of those once but it soon passed and I recovered well.
