MariaJ Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 April 2018 Challenge: In or On the Water Water was a big component of my image from last month so it's my inspiration for this month's challenge. Your images must be taken of something or someone on the water. More specifically: It must be taken outdoors, on open natural water (e.g., lakes, ocean, rivers, not a swimming pool), and must be taken of something with people and/or animals in the water. Not of inanimate objects without people or animals. The photographer can be on the shoreline, but not the subject. Up to 3 images, must be on Alamy. Deadline midnight April 30, 2018, PST. Some examples: Have fun! Maria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inchiquin Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I was going to ask about canals because although the water is natural, the canal isn't! Then I saw Bryan has already posted a couple. Does this mean canals are OK Maria? Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, three from me. Sidmouth Lifeboat crew on an early morning training run. My old terrier pausing between dips on a rock in the River Arrow, Worcestershire.

I believe everyone just tries to make the challengers final selection process as difficult as possible I fully agree with a lot of great pictures in this thread already. Difficult to select the best from one let alone weed out 8 finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
