About background: water (no sky!)

when water is used as a background for a photographic subject the image can take on surreal or abstract qualities that can be mesmerising.

this group is to showcase those creative images, to see how different photographers use the same basic concept, and how diverse the results can be.

*** RULES ***

* please read carefully, and look at the examples above, as the requirements for this group are very specific.

* there must be at least one object in the foreground, above the water. this is not just a reflection in the water, and not something on or under the surface of the water.

* the background should be entirely water, with no horizon visible. (some exceptions might be made if there is a small part of the background that is not water, but water should dominate.)

* if a photo does not fit these requirements it will not be added to the pool.

* creativity and artistic expression is encouraged within these boundaries!

thank you to all who have contributed!
