CHAT - "Pondlife" - W/e comp 26-28 Aug 2011

The theme this week is "Pondlife".

You are tasked to go to your local pond and see what "Life" you can find in, on or around it. It could be human life, wildlife or plantlife. Anything goes really so long as it's shot near a pond (rivers, lakes or inland seas will suffice if you are unlucky enough not to have a pond nearby).

Sorry if you live in a desert, you will probably have to sit this one out, unless you're really lucky with the weather!

No processing or technique restrictions apply.

Usual rules apply - CLICK HERE

Entries thread - CLICK HERE

Hope there is enough leeway for everyone to find something to photograph.

All the best, Sie

Can you say that? lol.................I think I will go to Washington Wetlands on Sunday, they have an amphibian pond, and I have nothing better to do (hubby cycling great north bike ride) its just a shame its so costly!

If this had been set as the theme whene the riots were on in England....there was plenty of pondlife looting and alllowing their photos to be taken by CCTV!
