Challenge #31 Found Faces

Unread post by Lonnie Utah »

Inanimate "Faces" found in the natural and unnatural world. Faces of people or animals are not what this is about...

Ends 6-30-2010. You can enter up to 3 photos. Finalists will be decided by me. Winner will be by poll. In case of a tie, Aster will pick the winner (if that's ok with aster).

A few examples of what I'm talking about

I love these faces you found while in the mishmash of life. I still have to look for one on any kind of surface; be it metal, wood, ice, clouds, disfigured vegetables...etc.

: )) These are fun; they actually have moods and expressions.

Harveyzone,

The Big Rock Man's features are incredible. I can actually see a moody old man's profile there: the lip line, the frown on the forehead, the squinting, narrowed eyes. Amazing.. : ))

Thank you, Lonnie! :D

That's kind of you. I hope I can find something within that time period...

ps. If things don't work out for me until then, I'll cheat and make a cream cake 'with' a face! :D

Here's one I found in my office, 5 feet from me. Obviously, this isn't an entry.

Taken with my crappy work camera so the quality isn't the best....
