Whether you’re an experienced photographer or just love taking pictures, this is a fantastic opportunity to showcase your talent and love for nature. 

Suggested Subjects: 

Get inspired by capturing subjects that beautifully represent "Water in the Landscape." Consider photographing animals interacting with water, rain, rainbows, bodies of water, wetlands, dew, droplets, frost, or try your hand at drone photography for a unique perspective. 

Judging Criteria: 

Your submissions will be evaluated based on: 

  • Relevance to Theme: How well the photo captures "Water in the Landscape." 
  • Creativity and Originality: Unique perspectives and innovative compositions. 
  • Technical Quality: Clarity, focus, and overall photographic technique. 
  • Emotional Impact: The ability of the photo to evoke a connection with the viewer. 

Photography Tips: 

For the best results, consider taking photos during the golden hours of early morning or late afternoon, when the lighting is soft and warm. Pay attention to the framing of your shots and try to include interesting elements that lead the viewer’s eye through the image. Experiment with reflections and textures in water to add depth and interest to your photos.
