Challenge #26: Street Photography
Ends: Sunday, Mar 4th 6:00 PM EST

Urban streets bustle with activity and people from all walks of life. They are a snapshot of people living in today's society.

What do you see?

"Blue Water"

"Wake"

What I have attempted here is to:

1 Show only water in the photos, and

2 Show a contrast between the peaceful, crystal clear "Blue Water" and the turbulent power of "Wake"

"Blue Water" is a heavily cropped portion of a Photo of a Dolphin in its pool at the Vancouver Aquarium, in this case just showing the water. "Wake" is a very lightly cropped photo of the wake from the ferry between Vancouver and Vancouver Island, ensuring no part of the ferry in shot

Cleared Path

Frozen Water
"Eiss"

Ends: Sunday, Feb 25th 6:00 PM EST

It can be liquid. It can be solid. It can be gaseous. It is water.

How does something feel? Texture is the visual interpretation of an object's surface. Soft. Hard. Rough. Spiny. Your submission this week should evoke a tactile response from the viewer.
