I was glad I barely made it in this challenge and happy to have won! I can't wait to go do some more water experiments. Good thing I have lots of paper towels...

There were some other really great shots this week. Congrats to all the participants, and thanks for the comments!

The next challenge is up. I hope you have fun with "Naturally Framed".

P.S. Bryce, was that a boat riding in that water on purpose or caught in a flood/storm?Yikes!

Congrats everyone!!! Speak'n of all this wet its time to have a cold one.

Very nice phots here. I know it could not have been an easy one to judge!!

Lavanut waited until 15 minutes before the end of the contest to spring his ninja attack on us.

We have been humbled.

Great job, lavanut, beautiful!

And the placers, and all the great stuff!

Congrats Lavanut! Amazing image. Congrats to Gail & Mike too. Great choices JohnB!
