09-01-10 – Waterscapes

Clarification–this isn’t necessarily ‘oceans, lakes, etc’ is it? I have selections where water is prominant, but not in a traditional ‘ocean/lake’ sense. In one, there’s actually very little water–but it’s central to the image’s ‘1000 words’, so to speak.

So under your definition, a fountain or similar where water is the focus is okay?

The picture should also be a landscape, so if you have a landscape picture and it features a fountain, knock yourself out.

For the inevitable question: landscape; (n.) 1. An expanse of scenery that can be seen in a single view: a desert landscape. 2. A picture depicting an expanse of scenery.

That might rule one of mine out (maybe; hard to say). I’ll pm you in the morning with the picture, as I’m at work at the moment.

It’s possible to have a vertical landscape, such as a picture of a single mountain.

Rather than risk a DQ, I’ll just ask. Does this fit the theme?

Jeeze, Kestrana! yer setting the bar pretty high (love the images)…

I like this idea a lot, I think it’s a great phototopic. +1, here.

I’d feel better about voting for this if had time to contribute. Seriously, I love the contests. I wish I had the time to devote to the challenge. Every theme makes me look at things in a different way. Some of you folks create awesome human studies and it makes me think about why I restrict myself to landscapes and still life.

You’re all invited to the party when I get a life and decide to work less.

Does the water have to be actually in liquid form? I’m thinking of some shots (possibly to use, will look at them again) I got this winter where there’s some ice/snow and some moving water; though in spring/summer/fall it’d be all moving water and thus liquid and not frozen. Is that okay?
