I initially considered taking one my beach shots but I take a lot of them and I was looking to push the theme a bit more.<br /><br />I experimented over the past few days with water coming out of taps, various drips and the like and while I liked the concept, the shots weren't what I wanted. I had to wait until today to get the right shots - it was raining and rain means water.<br /><br />I submitted the photo of the leaf for the competition, although I do admit to tossing up between the two for quite a while before making the decision.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7249284212531898856-8952388248972564912?l=mountaingirlarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mountaingirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11389289174284068772noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7249284212531898856.post-4990360372500848552008-11-12T20:59:00.000-08:002008-11-12T21:01:32.553-08:00I am still to find someone who can photography my work from this year - that texture is proving tricky so I have decided to post my photos here.
