Critique the Community
Water
Submit your best image incorporating water for your chance to win a free Fstoppers tutorial.
Congratulations to the winners!
The entries have been rated and we've given our thoughts on 20 images incorporating water. Congratulations to our two winners!
The highest community rated photo was submitted by Tor-Ivar Næss whose beautiful seascape image showed smoothly flowing waves around a rocky beach with a stunning sunset. The randomly chosen winner was Jorge Tamez with a swimwear image. We will be in touch with both of you via your Fstoppers profiles to claim your prize.
If you didn't get to participate in this contest but would like to be involved in the next one, we invite you to submit your best automotive imagery HERE.
Rules & Prizes
Almost every photographer should have an image that fits this weeks theme for Critique the Community. Submit your best photos featuring water below.
Although our featured image is a landscape shot from Elia Locardi's tutorial, your entry can be from any photography genre as long as it somehow incorporates water in the image. Of all the submissions, we will be selecting 20 images to provide feedback to. If your image ends up as the highest rated image by the community, we will send you a free Fstoppers original tutorial. We will also be selecting one random entry to win a second free tutorial.
Even if you're not uploading an image to the contest, we encourage you to take some time to browse through the submissions and offer some valuable feedback of your own. Please rate the photos fairly and make any comments helpful and encouraging. It's easy to scroll through each submission using your keyboard's arrows and numpad.

I may have to disagree with the comment on focus/reflection. if the reflection is within the focal range then everything within that range will be in focus. no matter if it is 100m away. on one of my automobile images i will prove that and no editing has taken place.... only an observation... stef
Is this contest one image per person or are we allowed to upload multiple images, like the last one? I don't see any clear numbers.
"Image" is singular in the instructions, but I've seen a few people uploading 2 images.
False. If what you are saying was true, then focusing on the plane of a mirror would render all reflections sharp. Quite the opposite, focusing on the plane of the mirror (not on the reflections mind you, you need to focus on objects physically on the mirror or next to the mirror) renders all reflections out of focus.
As a matter of fact, if what you are saying was true, then obtaining true focus on a DSLR trough its mirror would be impossible, and in the viewfinder either everything would be sharp or everything would be out of focus.
I am wondering the same thing. I see some multiple entries but from what I see the rules do not specify.
