Take a good look at the one above, it is remarkable and sensational and quite coincidental in its juxtaposition, look until you see it, if you do not notice it straight away.
You've already seen some photos with water and one can achieve quite remarkable effects.
So what is so special about water. It's liquid, it undergoes colour changes, it drops, it shines, it glistens, it reflects, two photos for the price of one, it's eerie, it works its way around things, it splashes, it ebbs and it flows, it can be quite fast moving so it needs to be 'fixed' with use of the flash or by the inbuilt mechanisms of your camera which may be automatic or may require setting.

Filter or coloured water?
Water and its settings are associative, they bring back memories of how you feel, and feeling and smelling and touching and breathing in the fresh air often associated with water helps you to remember as you look back at you snaps.
Water is an experience, so let's get on with the show, and when you think of water, don't forget puddles after the rain, they can reveal amazing things. Experiment, experience, sense and learn.
Enjoy your photographic escapades.
All of these photographs are not brilliant but they do tell you something and that is an experience in itself.
