The new theme for this challenge is: In The Eye Of The Beholder

What one person finds beautiful or admirable may not appeal to another. I think this holds true in photography also. So, for this week’s challenge you are challenged to find and photograph something that is of beauty to you but not necessarily to others. Show us what's in your eye.

Since we are getting a late start on this challenge the challenge begins now and will end on Monday, May 6, 2019 at midnight EDT (USA). The winner will be announced shortly thereafter. (Or more likely, the next morning.)

CHALLENGE RULES:
1. Camera: Any DIGITAL CAMERA is allowed, (not just DSLR)
2. Time: Any on-topic photo taken at any time is eligible. Photos that have won other competitions should NOT be entered.
3. Size: See standard P.O.T.N. Image Posting Rules.
4. Post Processing: Do whatever you like and the host will decide if it works.
5. Posting: ONE PHOTO per photographer in each challenge.
6. Details: Show camera model & lens used. Post brief EXIF data including ISO, shutter speed and aperture used.
7. Commenting: Please, NO COMMENTING DURING CHALLENGE feel free to comment in this thread after a winner is declared.
8. Content: Keep it clean, and both Family and Work safe.
9. Have questions? PM me.
10. Have FUN!

* THE WINNER ALWAYS SETS THE THEME FOR THE NEXT CHALLENGE, POSTS IT AND JUDGES IT - BE PREPARED! A new challenge should be posted ASAP after you have been declared the winner.

Had hoped for a few more entries but we received three winners.

Mark, you get first place for this challenge. I really like the light and the bokeh. Weeds can be beautiful.

Ed, your second. The fuzzy detail on the hornet is great. It would make for a great macro. Nice capture.

Lesley, third place for you. Definitely a Bronco's fan if he is willing to walk around in a barrel. Great smile there.

Okay Mark, what's next?

Thanks, Don! I didn't think I had anything to enter, but then I thought "Denver Broncos, love 'em or hate 'em!", lol. Glad it made you smile.:-)

Congrats to Mark, that is a really nice shot. Ed, I've never seen one hatch before. Very cool.
