Whitewater

Challenge #15 in the WaterWorld series. Hosted by Deleted pending purge.

Challenge has finished

Torrents, rapids, waterfalls... their danger and beauty have hypnotic values of their own. Those are our theme in this Challenge. Whole scope range is allowed, from close-up or telephoto trough panoramas to extreme wide-angle… whatever pleases you. NOTE: although there may be people in your photos, save the watersport takes for the next Challenge which will be aimed at that topic. PLEASE OBSERVE ALL THE RULES. It is the best way to avoid disqualification.
