I think your stretching it a little with this shot. IMO, this does not represent water or at-least from your cameras point of view. Maybe taken with water be predominantly introduced into the picture but as-is it just doesn't work for me for this challenge. As for the photograph; nice focus but the lighting is harsh. Looks more like a snap shot that a planed photograph. I wish you the best in the challenge.
good out of the box thinking. I wish the whole pale was in the photo. I also could have done without the loses manhood in the title. I think the picture tells a story on it's own
Yeah...not really related to this challenge at all. You have a pail of water but this shot doesn't have anything to do with water. That aside, its an interesting spring ritual and I have taken part in it myself. Too bad you didn't get a picture of his head.
