About background: water (no horizon)

when water is used as a background for a photographic subject the image can take on surreal or abstract qualities that can be mesmerising.

this group is to showcase those creative images, to see how different photographers use the same basic concept, and how diverse the results can be.

*** RULES ***

* please read carefully, and look at the examples below, as the requirements for this group are very specific.

* there must be at least one object in the foreground, above the water. this is not just a reflection in the water, and not something on or under the surface of the water.

* any reflection in the water should be of something other than the foreground subject. (or at least be a minimal part of the image.)

* the background should be entirely water, with no horizon visible. (some exceptions might be made if there is a small part of the background that is not water, but water should dominate.)

* if a photo does not fit these requirements it will be deleted from the pool.

* creativity and artistic expression is encouraged within these boundaries!

* some good examples:
