    MPC #38: [Unsightly] [3 DAY EXTENSION] Sep.1 - Sep.17

    RULES:
    1. Photos must be taken within the time period of the contest.
    2. You may submit 3 photos during the competition.
    3. The contest moderator will choose 5 photos to be voted on.
    4. The winner will get a happy feeling in his/her pants. (That is a rule by the way, not an option.)
    5. In the event of a tie, the contest moderator will have the deciding vote.
    6. Winner will be the contest starter/moderator for the next comp.
    7. The winner has 3 days to start a new contest or 2nd place becomes the new winner.

    Alright guys, unsightly... I'm not fantastic at explaining these themes, but here are a couple examples





    You get the idea, basically anything you think fits the theme. Good luck!

    Hmm.. anything thats shoved away from people's views, anything you wouldn't want to see, anything that looks out of place.. this is harder than I thought. How 'bout some synonyms off thesaurus.com

    abominable, alarming, appalling, atrocious, deplorable, depressing, dire, disgusting, distressing, dreadful, fearful, frightful, ghastly, grody, gross*, gruesome, grungy, harrowing, hideous, horrendous, horrible, horrific, horrifying, nasty, offensive, raunchy, repulsive, shocking, stinking, synthetic, tough, ugly, unpleasant, unsightly, bedraggled, begrimed, black, contaminated, cruddy, crummy, defiled, disarrayed, dishabille, disheveled, dreggy, dungy, dusty, filthy, foul, fouled, greasy, grimy, grubby, grungy, icky, lousy, messy, mucky, muddy, mung, murky, nasty, pigpen, polluted, raunchy, scummy, scuzzy, slatternly, slimy, sloppy, slovenly, smudged, smutty, sooty, spattered, spotted, squalid, stained, straggly, sullied, undusted, unhygienic, unkempt, unlaundered, unsanitary, unsightly, unswept, untidy, unwashed, yucky.

    hahaha, right, well sorry for the huge mass of words, but skim through that real quick and it'll help hopefully lemme know if you want a little more expanding

    Would this count (if it was within the contest timeperiod)?



    And, I'm guessing this would definitely qualify (also not within contest timeperiod):




    This could be the most interesting contest in a long time...

    I'm surprised at the lack of entries in this one. I've been super busy the last week and a half so haven't had much time to get out and shoot around town. It's hard to find unsightly stuff out in the wilderness which is where I was last weekend...

    Anyway, here is one shot I was able to get in last week. If this gets extended I should have time to go shoot this week.

    Have a few bullets left in the gun, but after firing off two shots already, I can't decide which one is the silver bullet...
