Thanks for picking me as the winner Not often I manage to win anything
The pic was not actually taken with the comp in mind. It was only afterwards when I was processing it did it become apparent it might qualify.
My photographic skills are to say the least marginal. I take reasonable pics and very very occasionally does it all come together properly.
Still as someone said "he who knows it all knows nowt"
The next challenge will be up very shortly when I think of something

My problem is going to be judging the next set,so please be forgiving if my results are not as expected.

Well done to the others they all had merit in their own right.

Well done Doglet

Chris, was going for the reflection as the symmetry and the 3/4 view and slightly elevated angle so that it wasn't a 'perfect' reflection, but in hindsight I can see that it perhaps doesn't shout symmetry. Looked better in my head The straight on shot looked a bit bland for my liking, but may half fullfilled the brief better. As they say, every day is a school day. Was also going to try for a ripple in the water, but I ran out of hands!!

Thanks for taking the time and for getting your comments back so quickly.

Cheers
Robert

Congratulations Doglet
Well done Chris for taking on the unenviable task of judging and then providing comments.

I figure copious amounts of the amber fluid qualify for the next challenge.
As Doglet has announced the next challenge I hope a lot more enter this fun competition as many have posted some great images containing water. Competition 3 should be a good one.
The great British Easter weather will, I am sure, provide many many opportunities for everyone.

Pretty chuffed with that result for a snatched shot. Congratulations to Doglet. Without applying any sort of judging criteria I looked at that shot and thought 'oh, wow, that's a winner'.

Guilty!!! Of not looking at the times of posting and noticing a possible rule infringement..... See posts on Challenge 3. Had been away up to the "closing night" and turned on first thing in the morning and accepted all the images that came up as being up for judging. Actually I hadn't adjusted my office clock to BST so the infringement would have looked only 6 minutes if I had clock-watched!
But wouldn't want to go against the rules that Millie so kindly sorted out (wouldn't want her to return to her "young Mrs T" avatar and give me a hand-bagging..... Don't mean it, Millie....). But don't let the small print get too much in the way of some super images.
We live and learn - that's what the forum is all about, isn't it?
Must go and get inspired by water for No. 3 - shouldn't be hard in this pouring rain with huge puddles all over the garden.
Cheers, Chris.

Just goes to show we're all human...although my kids sometimes think I'm some kind of alien!

My kids advertise the fact that I am an alien, unless of course they want something and then I am suddenly elevated to Saint-Hood!
