    Challenge 49 - "Fun with Water"

    This is the time of year when more people take to the water in some way than at any other time. Some swim in it, some sail on it, some paddle, some just splash. The key thing is that people (usually) enjoy it. What I want is pictures capturing that sense of enjoyment, of fun.
    • The competition subject shall be selected by the winner of the preceding competition who will also judge the competition.
    • The period of the competition shall be 14 days. The start date is Wednesday 13th June and finishes @ midnight on Tuesday 26th June.
    • One Picture per person; images should conform to general image posting rules.
    • Please use a Canon DSLR.
    • Posted images should be taken during the running period of the competition. Any images submitted that were taken before the competition started, or after the competition has ended, will be deemed invalid.
    • Images 800 pixels widest max (to help those with small monitors)
    • No Photoshop frames and borders.
    • Include a brief description, and title; the image must convey the theme without title description.
    • Please, no comments, on images until the round is over.
    • No canvassing e.g. “I’m thinking of posting this image for the challenge, what do you think?”
    • The guest ‘judge’ will pick 1st 2nd 3rd favourite images (Please don’t PM them to discuss their choices).
      Please include basic picture data as requested by the administrator.


    I expect a big entry.

                  Another challenge with a disappointingly small entry. Everyone must be away enjoying the Jubilee celebrations or saving their energy for the Olympics.

                  Treff, I think your entry was taken outside the period of the competition which would disqualify it. With only three entries remaining, it is another case of naming only a winner.

                  For sheer exuberance, and good composition and technique, I have picked richysticky's 'Felixstowe today'. Well done to all and thanks for entering. By the way, Jon, what does 'hobbling' a river mean? I never heard the word used in that context.

                  Over to richysticky.

                        Sorry, ricewind, I should have remembered and put two and two together. I hope the cast didn't melt.

                          Oops, I completely forgot about this one - although with the weather I've mostly been having misery with water! Not that I think I could have beaten the winning entry anyway.
