As organizer of the “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” theme, I enjoyed viewing so many interpretations and can truly appreciate the unusual and unexpected “beauty” many of you found in so many different places.

Thank you and congratulations to all participants. The following photos captured my attention and enabled me to see the “beauty” which caught the imagination of the photographer.

HONOURABLE MENTIONS (in no particular order);

A stunning image full of interest and truthfully loud!
A powerful statement and contrast of the beauty and sadness in our society.

Great topic John and great entries.

Thank you so much, John, for selecting my image from so many fine entries. Congratulations to everyone! I will get to work on a new theme and post it tomorrow. Mahalo!

Thank you very much, John, for the second place, and congratulations to all HM's and other winners - particularly to gpmerfeld: a truly deserving winner!

Tks for the mention..
Tough getting that exposure right on that winner!

Thank you so much for the HM and congrats to the winners. Some really inspired works of art.

What a great winning picture. I know I would have stepped around the foreground subject and missed this opportunity if I had the option.
Think I learn a lesson from this shot.

Fun contest! Thankyou for choosing my image for honorable mention.

Congratulations to gpmerfeld and all of the other winners. Great selections!!!

Thank you for the 3rd place honor and congrats to all the other winning entries. The first place entry moved me.
