Thank you very much, Tess (tessfully) for the honor of hosting this new challenge and for your excellent hosting of last week's challenge! My designation as the winner greatly surprised me. The other submitted images are excellent!
This new challenge and its title are inspired by part of "The Photographer's Mind," a book by Michael Freeman. (ISBN: 978-0-240-81517-6). Some of the subjects of photographs in that section are a crumpled beer can, a pair of shoes, a shop window, noodles, and plastic-wrapped bales of hay.
Please interpret the theme as you wish.
You might wish to experiment with lighting and point of view.
I am reminded of an exercise in which a photography student is asked to look for subjects within a small circular area she or he designates.
Many or all of the entries in this challenge likely will far surpass this image of part of a steppingstone peeking through snow.
I hope you enjoy the challenge.
Best wishes!
Stu
