Contest: ENTER Misc. Avatar Contest: Water

[auntiehill]

This week's contest is all about water. Water has been on my mind this week, since our neighborhood had to cut back on our water use due to an electrical problem at our local water treatment plant.

The avatar can depict water in any way--as long as it is liquid (no ice or clouds). It can't be an image from TV, Movies, or comics. It can, however, be from artwork like murals, paintings, etc.

Let's start out with one entry per person; we can always change that later if we want to.

Standard av rules apply: 200 x 200 pixels max, 1 MB max, and as always, keep it work-safe and tasteful. I'll put the poll up next Saturday, the 4th.

Here's mine:

Do I believe the sky above is Caribbean blue?

As beautiful as this is, it's exceeding the 1 Mb data size limit by a lot.

Thanks. New to this. I was going by the 200x200. I will do something different.

Edit: Fixed.

I am not sure whether to compete. I feel that earning a living by working in the water gives me an unfair advantage. What do you guys think?

A national treasure, Niagara Falls:

If this is too close to TrickyDickie's entry (I think it may also be a waterfall, but I'm not entirely sure what I'm seeing there?), then let me know, and I'll come up with something else.

I don't see why it would. Just because you're a water expert doesn't necessarily mean that the rest of us water laypeople are going to like your image the best...

This is me standing in the ocean a few weeks ago.

It's water falling in front of a cave entrance. Yours is different enough from that so that I don't see a problem.

Are you entering that in the contest? If you are, it's a TAD too big.

 

[Lord Garth]

Easily fixed. I'll go with the cropped version for my actual avatar.

cool pic! I'll be out sampling tomorrow and maybe I can get a nice shot.

Still time to enter! The poll goes up on Saturday.

 

[rhubarbodendron]

mine is a rather simple one but it has always been one of my favourite pics: sunlight filtering through the ripples on a very clear river's surface and painting patterns on the pebbles:

OK, thread closed. New poll will be up shortly.
