I would not worry too much about that. If we truly wanted to be anal about it, there are a multitude of lakes, rivers and ponds that would no longer meet the "Natural" criteria as they have been modified by mankind over the years.

Yeah, I agree. I don't think many people would be able to tell the difference to be honest, or even look for the signs that it had been made by man (but filled by nature). I would suggest, however, that you don't name it "VOTERS: This is a man-made reservoir!"

I see the challenge simply as water in a natural setting (as waterfalls are in the challenge description,and they wouldn't fit my definition of a "body of water").

Anyway, I think you're fine to represent your surroundings.

DNMC!! I can see a supply line in the shadows to the left!!

J/K! I would vote it on the quality of the pic, not if it is "natural" or not, Unless it is blatent, like a swimming pool or a glass of water.

This works for me. Looks like a lake. So I'm sure if it looks good, it should do well.
