Water - 25 and under

Wow, three times i looked at this shot before noticing the shadow and the rope, at first i thought it was someone in the water until i realised they were balancing on a rope!
An interesting take on a simple scene, its wonderful to see the processing has been left subtle so that all the attention is on the person in the centre, if you had over saturated and enhance this image the person would of been lost. The gentle spiral of the water really pulls your eye in leaving the viewer with a sense of wonder as to how far along did that person go!? Lovely capture well done.

A wonderful take on a creative 'water' image with its own uniqueness. This image really captured my attention, i love the way the artist is cleverly positioned behind the window of water droplets, the light within the water reflecting back the brightness and at the same time the lines of water run from the outside of the frame into the centre of the image pulling the viewer in. The red lipstick and turquoise earrings stand out well yet the soft facial features and background give a elegant painterly look, an unusual image but well executed. Well done.

Its great to capture misty conditions on the water, it creates a real sense of feeling for the environment. There is a lot of fishing, reeds and equipment in the left hand of the picture which makes you study the image so its great to see you've balanced this with the figure in the mist in the boat on the right. The detailed patterns of reflections in the water close to the bottom of the frame are wonderful and just be careful not to overexpose the highlight area in the top right of the image, id like to see a little more detail surrounding the figure in the water in future, but a lovely image which tells a story, well done.

What a great shot that freezes the action perfectly. The photographer has done well to keep everything in the frame sharp as shots like this are hard to achieve. The swimmer looks almost like a fish with his mouth gasping for air. Good work.

A great effort to capture the classic water drip. To improve the shot I suggest you boost the exposure of the image as it is a little dark. Also you want the drip to be crisp sharp and it appears soft in the frame. From looking at your camera settings you could boost the ISO and close the aperture down to help with the focusing. Keep practicing as it's a trial and error approach to get a winner.
