Well seeing as we have had plenty of it, this month’s Photo comp theme is “WATER”!

This is the discussion thread - Entries in the other thread please


Monthly Photography Competition Rules:

The photos taken must be your own work
The competition will run from the first to the last day of the month.
The winner from the previous month decides on the topic for following month and judges it at the end of the month
There will be two threads that need starting: The Entries thread to commence same time as Discussion thread. In the Entries thread only one picture should be entered. Any others you wish to discuss should be posted in the Discussion thread.
All entrants acknowledge that they may indeed win and that their adherence to convention ensures everyone else's continued fun.
Photos entered should be no bigger than 750 pixels wide for a landscape photo and 600 pixels high for a portrait photo due to the PH squash factor. Links to larger versions are permissible.
Good luck!

That's lovely! Looking at the Exif, you'd have had the monthly challenge wrapped up from day one if the topic for that had been water! hehe

The only thing slightly bugging me is whether the horizon is dropping slightly from left to right?

I thought it was water??

As for the horizon its a lake shore, it is level... It just curves towards us on the rhs.

Yes, shoreline rather than horizon. You're probably right, it's completely correct as it was in nature. I just felt slightly like all the water was going to slowly dribble out stage right! hehe

Still a beautiful shot whatever! smile

Cheers, thats the problem though with lakes, make it look right, or make it right?

I may have a look at this and see what its like 'fixed' I suspect I would loose a lot of the image.
