Opposing Beauty Photography Contest! with ntopaz

[solrasol]

Hey everybody, I'm working with @ntopaz to have a contest for Opposing Beauty Photography.

Ever found a piece of trash to be beautiful? That rotting couch next to a beautiful sunset, or a rainbow of oil in the puddle in the parking-lot, an unbalanced social dynamic? I'm looking for photos which use art to highlight everyday things which have gone wrong, or frame unnatural decay in ways which help us reevaluate our normal everyday surroundings.

What is a "Opposing Beauty" Photograph? It must have the following elements:

• Tells a story, have a message about our larger culture.
• Take something ordinary and make it extraordinary
• or take something beautiful and show us what's ugly about it.
• layered images, complexity to produce food for thought (Don't simply take a photo of trash, give it some context or mystery).

Here are a few examples by @solrasol

1. Each artist may submit up to 3 entries.
2. Must be uploaded through nTopaz contest page at https://www.ntopaz.com/contest/42

That will be an amazing contest @solrasol:) I understand the concept and it is very close to my mindset and the way i see art. Full of amazing contrasts:)
