A three shot panorama of the Natural Bridge. It is a naturally formed rock arch over Cave Creek, a tributary of the Nerang River. It was formed from a waterfall which undercut a cave beneath the waterfall and dug a pothole on top, until the two joined and the creek flowed through the cave, leaving an arch across the front. The bridge is located in Springbrook National Park in the Gold Coast hinterland of Queensland, Australia. The park is situated on the McPherson Range, near Springbrook, approximately 100 kilometres (62 mi) south of Brisbane. The park is part of the Shield Volcano Group of the UNESCO World Heritage listed Gondwana Rainforests of Australia.

Thank you for your submission!
Thanks for great entry! I really like how different colours the same water has depending of the light source... beautiful and mysterious.
Yes. The colour dichotomy is a result of the direct green rainforest reflections contrasting with the subtle blue from preferential scattering of short-wavelength light as it hits the the waterfall mist and has to travel down quite a deep shaft (this is the same reason the sky is blue from the water vapor in the atmosphere) .
Totaly true, thanks for great info!

It's water wednesday! Do you SUP? I took this picture on Vancouver island near Comox. Friends of ours have a house there and it's a great place for stand up. The bay never gets too many waves and the tide moves in really slowly so the water can get a bit warmer (good for if you fall in). I love being out on the water - it's so peaceful and a great place to just be with your own thoughts.

Thanks for the submission!
Dreamy place for all kind of water sports and probably fishing as well. Calm atmosphere of late evening (or early morning?) is great shown here. Yellow paddle boat is perfect contrast for the rest. Thanks a lot for submission.
Thank you Shadalene to remind me to put the picture here as well, This morning (belgium) I think you did not have the new contest out yet :-)
this picture is taken in New Zealand, we did a trip to go and swim with dolphins, but the dophins had babys, so we did not go, because they can be very protective and there for can be dangerous. Later on we went in the sea anyway, because there were no dolphins when we got this beautifull present, they chose to come and swim with us. It was amazing! I hope you enjoy.

The ocean is a whole world, another planet. It is populated by amazing creatures. For us, for people living in a different world, every new encounter with marine life is an incredible miracle and brings a lot of positive emotions. But each time we need to remember that we are only guests in the underwater world and we must be very careful to enter it.
Thank you for your submission!
Thank you very mach for this contest!

Salmon Fisher's boat
Clam Gulch is a small (176 people as of the 2010 census) city on the western side of the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. This is the beach that my friend her and her family have used for generations to fish for salmon. This picture was taken in June at 10:30pm in the evening. It was my first time experiencing a sunset that late at night. Alaska was gorgeous and this beach in particular.
Thanks for your submission!
Lonely boat in open seas... this is motive which always looks great, here with these very gentle light and colors brings a dreamy mood and calm atmosphere. Thanks a lot for entry!
Here's my entry for WaterWednesday. I photographed this from a helicopter with the door removed. It was on the way to a commercial photo shoot where I was going to be photographing a silver mine in Nevada from the air. I figured I needed to "warm up" the camera on the way to the silver mine. Glad I did...

Amazing seascape and display of how many different colors the sea water can have, depending of depth, sea bottom structure, lighting conditions and probably ten other things :). Thanks for Your entry shot!
No problem, thank you for hosting the contest! I realize now that I forgot to write that this is Lake Tahoe.

Nature Photo Contest: Water Wednesday
Hiking the far side of the McKensey River in Oregon. You have to bushwhack a little more but it’s worth it, as the river views are stunning.
I really love the mountain streams - cold, fresh, pure, noisy, powerfull, colorful, living... Great contrast between the green and light blue colors. Thanks for entry!
Thank you for your submission!

I found this interesting rock formation on the Cordoama beach and had struggled to find the right position on the wet stones, wiping the lens, covering my camera from splashes and trying to capture the contrast between the motion of water and stillness of rock.
Thank you for your submission!
Yes, I know this picture very well :). Great long exposure of waves, incoming water has amazing colours. Sea shore is always amazing place to search for such beautiful views. Thanks for entry!
Wow! I just realized you are the jury for this contest. What a coincidence! ))
Surprise!! ;) Great photo deserve to be shared and shown.

This is my water picture. Captured in a middle of the Estonia. Main goal was to picture stars but i found an awesome place with a small lake.I dont know the lake´s name. It was in a middle of forest basically in the middle of nowhere. Oh and i heard that big bears live in this location, it was a little scary as well being there.
Thanks for the submission!
Thanks for submission. Beautiful night sky, I really wish to see more water on this one, because the reflections could make amazing effect.
Yes reflextions are amazing. Unfortunately in this spesific place reeds were really high on the coast. I maxed out my tripod in height and this is the most water i could get on the shot.
Here is my calming seaside photo, shot last year in July at Christchurch, UK. Everytime I look at it it makes me calm. Do you feel similar?
Thanks for your submission!
The horizon of open seas... nothing more I could say. Beauty in its simplicity! Thanks a lot for entry shot.
