Even weeds give amazing eye catching shots as they compete with desired plants, even for pollination, hence, they try to be more attractive than their competitor cultivated plants.

This goal of this contest is to take a photograph of a weed/weeds. The definition of a weed for the purpose of this contest is as follows (from merriam-webster.com):

"a plant that is not valued where it is growing and is usually of vigorous growth; especially : one that tends to overgrow or choke out more desirable plants"

It is not necessary to show the weed with other plants; however, you must clearly show that your subject is a weed and not just a regular plant. It is not necessary to name the weed, but such attention to detail is highly encouraged.

Finally, although they can sometimes fit our definition of "weed", vines will be considered off theme due to our having a vines contest rather recently. Individual plants are allowed, but please write in the description which weed it is.

This contest is open for all levels.
This contest is in finished. Check out the winners below!
