Congrats @Turek ! A fantastic image.
Looking at the March competition’s early entries and I need a pee already.
Well, I definitely won’t be “competing” per se, but I’ll post something wet by the end of the month anyhow.
Sheesh…water in central New Mexico. I’ll see what I can find.
I’m a Pisces. I just did a search on my iPhone for “water” and I have 1500 pictures.
ETA: statistically, there must be at least one good one, right?
Heh. I just searched my Lightroom Cloud library for “water” and it found 1998. That’s going back over 15 years of photography though.
I’m a Leo. Strangely, I don’t have any photos of lions!
First, I must concur that @Turek richly deserved the win in the “Animals” category. What a great picture!
I made my humble entry in the “Water” category. I have quite a few scenic pics of lakes and bays and such, mostly from my memorable cruises in the Georgian Bay area (sadly, neither I nor any of my friends own cruising boats any more, either sail or power) but I picked this pic because it rather dynamically emphasizes the concept of “water” rather than natural beauty and such.
never mind
It definitely says WATER
With @beowulff’s permission, a slightly different version of his spectacular waterfall photo:
Anyone know what’s going on with Imgur?
Where I used to get my gallery of photos, not all I get is the message “Zoinks! You’ve taken a wrong turn!”.
Even clicking on my profile > images gives me this message.
mmm
@Zyada That’s a cool photo. I love the ellipsis of it. I think it would have made a fine entry.
I finally got around to entering my own competition for only the second time!
I figured (rightly) that there’d be lots of amazing waterscape photos, beautiful shots of droplets and the like, so I decided to enter something a bit left-field. No-one will accuse my photo of beauty, but I hope it’s fun!
And a shoutout to @romansperson for going out and shooting something especially for the competition. One of my goals when I started this was to encourage people (mainly me, if I’m honest) to get out and take photos. I know that most of us have submitted archive shots (again, including me) and that’s cool, but kudos for going out and shooting to the brief.
Close the site and retart your computer. I’ve had that problem.
Hmm, I’m using Imgur for my submissions and it seems to be OK.
On this:
I was going to post such a note myself, as it’s annoying that some new or infrequent posters haven’t read the basic ground rules. Thank you for the reminder. If the problem persists, maybe nudge a mod for a highlighted mod note.
I think it will be more fun for me if I “shoot to the brief”, so that’s what I’m going to do. I won’t be winning any of these competitions anyway!
