My work just does not even begin to be this good.

*sigh*

We shall see.

Google for. But you have some wonderful photos of the ocean and were one of the people I thought of when choosing the theme because of them. Then there was regnaD kciN and water falling over things along with Mira's variety of water pics. So no sighing and we shall see, you've got this.


Edit and cannot leave out Ellen all surrounded by water like she is.

I thought you took all of those!

I don't really want to win...second place is wonderful!

yours. OMG no only a few of them. I was trying to find different ideas because I would really like a full contest. Second place is always the real winner!

Those are beautiful examples. Nice portfolio.

Thanks for running the contest, I have a lot of ideas already.

You compete with us, and my own utter wide eyes at the wonderful suggestions

I love water. I love being around water. I love shooting water: things that are in it or on it.

I can't decide!

taken on Monday in DC. Sometimes the shot is all about being in the right place at the right time.

And here's one of my own taken at the beach last October--that I was considering--that I've found looking through my archives.

And one that I took in 2009 when we were in Peru. It's looking from land out over the floating islands of Lake Titicaca when the light was golden.

Did you know that Alaska has more coastline than the rest of the US combined?

In addition, Alaska has more than three million lakes over 20 acres each.

AND

Alaska has over 3,000 rivers.


The only hard part of this contest will be figuring out which pic to use.

I've narrowed my choices down to two very different shots. Both are from situations that are right time, right place. In other words, I couldn't go out looking
for these shots. I won't be back at the beach until mid-May. We do have some lakes nearby, but I'm not terribly motivated to go out on a shoot and I figure
those of you with gorgeous scenery in your backyard are going to have the advantage compared to anything I could take around here.

I have one water shot that I really love, but it was already entered in another contest. Also a case of right time, right place.

I took this a couple of years ago when we were in London and this little boy was wading in the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain in Hyde Park.

Have fun making your choice!

CC--who is hosting the April event--has said submissions will open on April 18th. So come to the Photography group
on the 18th and look for the thread titled April Photo Contest Submissions.

I will pin both the submissions thread and comments thread to the top so they are easy to find.

Now I just have to figure out what state my water should be in... Liquid/solid/gas

hoping for a full contest. I love seeing what other people capture.
