When I first came up with the concept of water for the challenge I was going to say "water should be the main subject in your image".
After about 2 minutes I realized that might make for a dull challenge and could discourage a lot of otherwise excellent entries such as yours and I didn't want that at all.
That is why I named it H2O and mentioned the 3 states it has. The fun is in the play!

Thanks for the kind words guys, much appreciated. Initially I doubted its suitability for a Water challenge, but eventually decided the fog and the creamy froth of the muddy ripples breaking on the shoreline played an important role in establishing the soft tones of the image. Regards, -Najinsky

Excellent work. So relaxed and soft and gentle. You really did enter powerful images. Well done.
