The theme for this Challenge is Water. Inspiration is the 3 plus inches of rain we've received in the past 3 days following one-half inch last Thursday - it's wet. Looking at Jerry's list, water and related themes have been selected numerous times, but it's been almost 2 years since the last iteration, so hopefully some new images are out there.
All forms of water are fair game as long as water is one of the primary attributes. Ideally, the more nuanced and artistic the better. Whether it's landscape, meteorological water, artsy water, macro, steam, ice.... all is fair game. Composition and creativity take precedent over technical perfection (within limits....). Judging will be horribly subjective.
This mini challenge starts now and will end at 5:00 PM Central Time on Wednesday May 28th.
Maximum of three entries and/or five exhibits per member. 1st, 2nd, 3rd Place Winners will be selected only from Entries. Honorable Mentions will be selected only from Exhibits. As usual, coveted Dishonorable Mentions will be issued to the truly deserving.
The photo must be taken by you and only you (you pressed the shutter button, self timer or remote shutter release).
Subject to DPREVIEW rules regarding propriety, any subject is fine. Concomitantly, any equipment may be used. I'll allow the use of AI as part of processing the final image, but if you used AI, that must be disclosed and it must not substantially alter the image content and message.
Please submit your pictures as a REPLY to this post. Please indicate clearly whether your image is an Entry or an Exhibit. An undesignated post will be considered an Exhibit.
Comments on others' photos are also strongly encouraged!! These mini-challenges and the weekly Show, Tell and Critique thread are some of the ways we on the forum can get to know and learn from one another. That friendliness is the reason I am here.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE consider making some of your posts Entries. We seem to cycle through the same few hosts of these Challenges. New and different hosts would help keep these Challenges fun with new and different ideas, and you can make as much or little work of the hosting as you like. Thanks!
The 1st place winner will host the next Challenge, selecting the theme. If the winner does not respond within 3 days or declines to host, the 2nd place winner becomes the host. If the second-place winner declines, the 3rd place winner becomes the host.
Some examples -

Minnehaha Falls - St. Paul, MN

Fun as kids

Fun as adults

Fun as a dog

Remnants of ice fog

Water as a mirror

Two wheeled 'water buffalo'
Have fun,
Nick
