Linda. Your first photo looks really refreshing to me. We are in the 90's here again. We get a nice day here and there between cold and rainy and heat waves. I can feel that cooling mist.

Love the image and the processing but it does feel a big too tight with the vignette, as Mark noted. Pull back a bit so that the vignette doesn’t eat into the subject, and you’ve got a really nice and unusual beach image.

Love that irrigation shot Linda, and you are reminding us that water is not just a body of. It’s everywhere - in the sky, on the plants, in the sink, in a glass. There are endless ways to capture it.
The webbed footed guys are cute too. Water in other forms and places…

Thanks so much, Erich.
I'm afraid I was the one who confused you about reply and quote reply
Yes, you should normally use quote reply - like I just did here - so people know who you're talking to and can follow the comments to which you're responding. Unfortunately, with embedded photos, the hot links are part of the quote reply text. You can edit that part out, though.

Linda’s shot of the field beneath a flow of water from an irrigation device reminded me that there’s thousands of ways to capture water that we haven’t even talked about and would form topics from now till Christmas and beyond. Water that falls out of the sky is a commodity some of us have too much of and some have too little, but it is of interest anyway. I’ve tried taking photos of rain without much luck and grabbed this unplanned shot with my phone this morning, and noticed I’d caught not only the distant sheets of rain and the clouds that spawned them, but also the raindrops right off the edge of my porch. The benefit of endless depth of field I guess.

I would, if this were mine, clone out the largest white waterdrop on the right. But it might be your favorite thing, which is fine!

OK, I gave that a try. Now that I've removed the post and the biggest waterdrop, I'm preparing the paperwork to submit this to the Agora Awards “Best Photo of the Year”. That $25K prize is mighty tempting.

I like this version much better! Go for that prize!

That's an interesting point to make. It seems to me that rainbows fall into that category....

It was the drops that caught my interest in this shot. Considering the blurring of the bird even though at 1/2000 I still quite like it for the water.

I have to admit, that I had not even considered water falling from the sky when I thought about this topic. Nor did I think of irrigation. Very cool.

In my experience, you never know what is going to appeal to a judge. Give it a try!!

Sure, why not go for the rainbow. I like this shot because the water does give us an indication of the storm that presumably caused the rainbow. I have to admit, though, that I would be tempted here to put on an ND filter and flatten things out. That would, of course, change the whole character of the shot.
