Ordinary Beauty Contest - Winners

Journal Entry: Sat Jan 24, 2009, 3:14 PM


Contest | Winners | The Jury | Prizes | Entries

Contest

This contest was about photographing day to day ordinary magic... shopping, washing dishes, getting up in the morning, discovering the world in a gentle fashion, appreciating everyday things, people around you, seeing it, connecting with it. Beautiful and small things that usually get passed by unobserved.
Congratulations to all participants and thank you to the jury members and to all who supported this contest.


Winners

1st Place

can mornings feel so soft? by ~orbatid
21 points

Most of us can relate to this image. The dried moments of time.
Well captured in the flower to the peeling chipped paint to the alleyway that blocks more beautiful views. The soft focus is brilliant and makes this image an instant fave.

Because looking at it makes me think, see that there exists a world out there, in the midst of ordinary things, where all is full of light. I or we do not notice it most of the times and yet it reveals itself from time to time and makes us think...is it always there?

3rd Place

she is cooking by *hello-ken1
14 points

An unpretentious moment being lived.
The movement is wonderful---the activity most homes have. The shuffling to and from, in order to provide a necessity for all.
The kitchen---is the center of most homes where love can be found.
be it with limited or plentiful resources...in this space---we step into more often then most rooms--life is sustained... as is love.

By this picture comes feelings under my fingers, the beauty is not just in the eyes, but also under the fingers... in our senses. Here comes to my mind memories of my childhood, autumnal sundays in the village of my mother, of the things around, when life was looking just so simple and true.

Beat that my heart skips by ~slimania

I love this photo because it captures the joy of every day in a dynamic and joyous way. And it is a beautifully done image.

B - grijanie by ~devllaa

How often do we stop to think about the implication of our senses.
I find this image focuses in on all of them.
Too often we go about eating ---living ---on auto pilot.
Perhaps we need to remind ourselves to be participants in the experience of living.
The ability to touch...to see...to taste...i hear silence ---and the scent of sweet butter cookies...this image entices all this.

Congratulations to the winners!

On May 1st I will need to renew :iconthrough-emilys-eyes: as a Super Group! This is very expensive (4,796 points :wow:) and I don't have lots of money. I pay for all the monthly award points myself, because I want to support amazing artists. It is my pleasure. :D But I could really use help with the Super Group renewal!

Not only will the points you give help the group, but they will help you! Here is what you get if you donate:

10 - 20 points - I will look through your entire gallery and fave the pieces that I like. :D

50 points - You will be featured with others who donated (with your avatar and three of the pieces I like best from your gallery) on the group page.

100 points (or more :D) - You will get separate feature just for you! It will be posted on the group page and in a news article.

If you cannot donate, no worries! :D If you have any suggestions, or if you would like to donate a prize, please let me know. Thank you for being a part of this community of artists! :D :hug:
