Photo Comp August 2012: Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder

Ello ok I was racking my brain for a topic on the way back from NI on the ferry and I think its gonna be

Beauty is on the eye of the beholder so its basically what do you consider is beautiful in your eyes

TGG's shortlist:

PFVA - I love the colours


Stuart B - great detail on the dragonfly

Dragonfly 1 by Gnu2000, on Flickr

Chontler - an Eagle Owl I think amazing bird

and Tufty for the ouch factor and that my brother did exactly the same thing only on a caravan step

Usual rules apply

Not an entry, as its ages old, but just to kick things off - what me and quite a few others would probably consider the most beautiful of all war machines, though its beauty in the same way that a shark can be beautiful as long as its not sneaking up on your surfboard:

Well, I like birds and it has a prominent eye, not to mention fluffy ears.
I don't generally do these one-click filters, but was messing about with ipad photo apps trying to find one thats actually useful - ie has a good method of masking. I ended mucking about with Snapseed which is pretty basic but at least means it runs acceptably. No joy with masking, but I quite like how this turned out after 10 minutes.

Try FilterStorm, it's fantastic, as is the Photoshop iPad App.

Well it hasn't been a fair competition this month because despite the standard being extremely high, that photograph is FUCKING AWESOME.
