Helen Marie Brown  Pro User  says:

Have you every looked at something and thought it looked just like sometime else?
I have a vivid imagination and am always seeing objects in objects i.e. a ship in a cloud or a flower in a galaxy. My challenge is to take a photo of anything you want with the only rule is it must look as if it could be something else and to tell us what you think it looks like.

Good luck

OUR CHALLENGE RULES

- The challenge is "not as it seems".
- All group members are welcome to participate, the more, the merrier.
- We are looking for FRESH photos - taken AFTER the Challenge was issued! [which is: 24 February 2012]
- Post as many pictures as you like (as long as they are freshly taken).
- If you remember, tag your entries & quote; "not as it seems"; but it's not crucial.
- Post your entries into the group pool, AND into this thread in the SMALL size.

- We will arrange an online vote to decide upon the winner.
- In the event of a tie, the first image to be posted in this thread which has the most votes will be declared the overall winner.
- The winner chooses the next Challenge.

The closing date/time for the challenge will be 10:00pm on 10 March 2012. - amended - please see below
Good luck everyone!

EDIT (by Mrs Logic on 10/03/12 at 15:04) - closing date/time is now Sunday 11 March 2012 at 22:00 (UK time) - please see my note below.

EDIT by Moser's Maroon: voting is now open until 19 March 2012, 10:00 pm. You'll find the poll here:

Thanks for the examples, I must admit I was struggling a bit (I couldn't think beyond a macro image). So it's about 'seeing things' then, I'll keep my eyes wide open!

Remember when you were a child and everything seemed magical? A mother of pearl button on a black coat could be the moon in the sky, water drops on a spider web could be a jeweled necklace or a piece of seaweed on the beach could be a crocodile. I want you to see the world not just look at it and remember the magic thats all around. x

Hi everyone - just a quick note - I'm going to be busy for the rest of today, and probably tomorrow morning/mid afternoon, and I won't have access to my laptop to sort out the poll.

If it's okay with you, Helen, I'll extend the deadline to 10pm tomorrow (Sunday 11 March 2012) - this also means that we may encourage a few more entries :-)

Riekie vdB  Pro User  says:

I have voted but there seems to be something wrong!
I miss the Sahara-photo from Moser in the voting list and I'm 100% sure I voted on one of the photos that I do see in the list but that vote is not coming back in the total list :((
I hope I'm the only one having this problem!!

Well,it was well after midnight when I created the poll, so I must have been half asleep (I had some problems with the Sahara photo but I then deleted it and added it at the very end). Last time I checked (that is, this night) I thought it was okay, but I may have been wrong. I will check it now!

@ Riekie: It should be ok now, I deleted and added the Sahara once more. I don't know about the other problem (not seeing your vote in the list).
@ Colin: I don't know what you mean. If you click on the photo, it will take you to the people's photostream (that helps you to see the photos better). In order to vote, you should tick the boxes with every photo you like.
