Welcome to this edition of the Weekly Challenge, #341. Thanks to Superduper, who hosted
last week's Challenge, the honor of carrying the baton has been passed to me.
This week's theme is Common Subject or Object Uncommonly Presented. In other words, show me a photo with a common subject or object presented in a different way than you'd normally expect to see it. If the photo carries an implied "message" or is humorous, all the better. Please feel free to elaborate with an explanation if one seems necessary.
I'll give a few examples from my archive to give you ideas of what I mean...
Halloween Pumpkin Lobotomized by squirrels and shrunken by sub-freezing nights
Bird A redwing blackbird takes flight (
Described further here.)
Hook, Line, and Sinker Deadly to wildlife, monofilament, hook, and lead sinkers are tangled in overhead wire during a snowstorm
Flip-Flop Floating upside down in a river eddy
ShoppingCart Rusting and toppled near an overgrown auto graveyard
Foliage Abstract of ferns converted to black-and-white, then inverted
Reading Glasses Photoelasticity Birefringence in action
Please don't be bound by these pictures, but instead, use them to kick-start your ideas. Let your imagine run free. I look forward to what everyone comes up with. Have fun!
The fine print:
Every week, a new theme is picked and judged by the winner of the previous week.
The Challenge will run until midnight February 14th, 2016, whichever time zone you are in.
Rules
1. Post ONE photo (max 1024x1024).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread and explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme (especially if it's not obvious).
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose one of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days, and will allow an additional day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax (or Samsung DSLR) camera (film or digital) can be used.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.
9. In case the winner of a challenge is unable to become the judge for the next challenge, they will PM the #2 winner for that person to be the judge.
