Here is the challenge: Interesting photos of ordinary objects or situations Let's see what can be done with little as far as subject goes.
Why I am asking this?
I keep watching photos at TE or this site and wounder if that model was really unattrctive would still people go "wow" at the photo? Or if the phoographer was not travelling in Nepal and had the advantage of great subjects, would his work stil be interesting? I want to see what a good photographer can do with little. So we can all learn something.

To break the ice here is one of my own photos.
Very ordinary subject a bunch of cows in a field. Trick was to wait long enough to see if one of the cows would look directly into the camera (pose for yours truly) She eventually did ( and don't tell me she does not look like Paris Hilton).
I changed it to b&w and cropped more dramatically and here it is.
PS. I tried to enter this photo once into the Glamour section :) but I could not log in (I challenge any glamour photographer to do better with a really unattractive model)
C'mon your turn.
