Default Photo Competition XV - Water - 10-12-2008, 01:14

The Theme:



Water





The Rules:


- Photographs must be taken by you - no nicking them off the Web
- Photos must be taken specifically for the contest - get out there and get snapping!
- One picture per person.
- No excessive digital manipulation (i.e. adding a more dramatic sky from another photo to your picture, or creating negative images etc.). Cropping, and adjusting levels, contrast, saturation etc. is ok though.
- Equipment: Anything goes as long as the results can be seen from here.
- Voting takes place when the contest closes.
- The winner of the contest gets to choose the next subject.
- the entire community is allowed to vote for one picture in the voting thread

Early morning, vegetative precipitation.



I want to die peacefully in my sleep, just like grandpa. Not screaming and panicking like his passengers.

Never underestimate your own ability with a camera, or are you being sneaky here and going for the sympathy vote?

With the varied tastes of the pictorial gourmets here, you'll find 'you can never please anyone at anytime' or something along those lines...

Welcome to the boards, and best of luck. Also, considering we're all curious squid (Jingo) pay a visit to the Introduction Thread and introduce yourself fully.

Oh bugger! First social faux pas for a long time. I'm surprised I didn't check the members list when I didn't recognize the name.

Never mind. Apologies to Lyia for the mistake, but this is her first post I've seen since I came back after my long break last year.

And to Kat...

No, Ba speaks in the third person singular. We are third person plural. Therefore we are better than Ba. **runs and hides somewhere under a suitable rock**

LOL
Definitely not going for the sympathy vote. I calls them as I sees them. I don’t have the internet at my apartment (insert gasps here) so I don’t get online a lot. I don’t even have a laptop, so ‘borrowing’ the internet is out. I hope someday I’ll be able to join the ranks of the chatty ones. (sigh) For now I have to settle for my little cameo appearances.
Your picture is really beautiful.

Meh, surely there is nothing water-related in Iceland worth taking a picture of?

As we have all pictures handy on one site, can we just vote in this thread this time around, please?
A voting thread would be very much a copy of this one.

I vote:

Maljonic: 1
Katcal:
Gypsy:
