Each week will have a different theme around a single word. Post your photos in the comments. You don't need to be a pro to participate. Please feel free to "stick" this post if you'd like to participate or follow along. ANYONE CAN PARTICIPATE
I decided I'll do it on fridays so that there is the weekend if any of you want to go take pictures specifically for the challenge. Old photos are welcome too.
Theme for Friday, November 8th: Water
I'm tagging people that participated to the daily photo challenge, please tell me if you want me to remove you from the list.

Hopefully this isn't cheating, but I used the water itself as a lens. I shot this with my iPhone, which does not have a macro lens and therefore cannot take pictures of things up close. I beaded a drop of water atop the lens and took a portrait of Lincoln on a penny, -the water droplet magnifies and acts as a macro lens for the phone.
All gimmicks aside, that's a great image. The lighting is pretty fantastic and it's completely moody. Nice work.
This is the best I've got, wish I had a real camera on me at the time...
iPhone 4S. Summertime in Alaska can make anything take good photos!
Free-hand, but in that particular photo I think I was seated and had my arms rested on my knees. I also got lucky that the horizon line is straight across on this one, that's my biggest weakness with taking pictures on my phone. Here's another decent shot I got from the same week.
These are both great shots but this one is way more ominous. It makes you feel like you are floating on a skiff in some cold-cold water. Great shot!
I took this photo the other day at Duke Gardens. I will try to take some other photos of water this week. It's a good subject, with lots of potential shots.
So often the person making the post gets no feedback on their photo. I really like this one elizabeth. It suggests a vibrancy in the reflection that isn't there in the immediate image. The colors are great too. b_b was teasing us that he would start a tag called #360 in which he would take two photos: One in front of him and the other directly behind. It's often startling how different 360 degrees can be on your perspective. Great photo! To anyone: Start the #360 tag!
I was at the Durham Life and Sciences museum and had to snap a shot of the interactive water sculpture there:
