730th Show & Tell Competition: Water - Close-Up

[hughjones]

The new theme is water - close-up. Instead of wide-angle images involving water, I am interested in water up-close, as it relates to texture, reflections, shadows, etc.. Some examples:

Hand jive:


Hands across the water:


Reflections, Vietnam:


Hanoi Waterpark:


Waiting for Godot:


Dali and Magritte Toast Each Other:

Photo of a 40 x 60 cm section of Saint George's Lake in central Copenhagen. Taken about 30 centimeters from the surface.



Still layer of water, chunks of seaweed resembling neuronal networks or galactic clusters below.



Macro shot of a 20 x 20 cm section of a Japanese-style pond in the Garden of the Danish Horticultural Society. Taken about 5 centimeters from the surface. The surface of the water ended out looking like a layer of translucent ice.

The bubbles are caused by a small fountain in the middle of the pond. Beneath are fine strands of seaweed (that resemble neuronal networks).
