one really has to look to notice that bird. the eye is drawn to the lightest point in a photo-the clock in this case. then one has to look for the bird. nice idea, but poorly created.

With just the bird on the flagpole this would have been better I think - more of a statement

Hi Kacwood,

It is not so hard to do.

Lie in a pool where the water is calm - the calmer, the better. For best results, have a weight to keep you down, depending on your boyancy, both for comfort but also to avoid to stir the water by the movements you need to do to keep you down.

Lying on the bottom, face up, make a small, powerfull burst of air with a "round" mouth, like a trumpet player does (I played the trumpet for 5 years ... a long time ago). I found this by chance - don't ask how/why! - but I was amazed by these rings myself. I find it relaxing to lie still on the bottom of a pool, so I must have been really bored to figure this one out.

Let me know if you manage :-) even better, have someone take a photo of you and see if you can do it better than I did ...

Gee, Hong Kong is always like that, polluted air from the river delta industries ...

No, just kidding, I'll find it when I have better time ...

Edit: Better time, when is that?

Thank you all for the nice and constructive comments!

My highest score so far, something new to beat.

Now, off to look for some stationary stationery ...

Gorgeous shot, KÃ¥re! The colors and dew make it over the top special. I didn't vote on this challenge at all, but kind of surprised that this didn't do better. I bet you've got a ribbon in your future :-)
