Photography has the power to lighten up our daily lives, and what an excellent way of kick-starting our routines by diving into some beautiful images in the comfort of our seats!
Here is our weekly wrap-up – where you'll find finely curated photos from the general chit-chat blended with some creative shots from Tersha's 630th challenge on Splash of Water! And as you might have guessed by now, some worth-seeing shots from the Feedback Forum as well!
Photo Of The Week – February 20th, 2023
This time POTW goes to @frogdaily, and her gorgeous shot.
The dark background is really effective here in the combination with the purple opaque liquid.
I also like the composition and how complex this splash is.
Congrats, Belinda!
What Are Our Members Up To?
Pour some coffee or tea and enjoy our favorite shots from these watery shots!

“Making a splash with photography”

Exquisite catch!
And speaking of a catch, what about some folks fighting over one?
Great Fountain Geyser Yellowstone Park
Water drop collision inside a bursting soap bubble!
Daring to capture such a minuscule event is lovely by itself! Look at that ideally still round drop floating up in the air!
Elephant water spout!
And for the grand finale – some marvelous creatures “having a whale of a time”!

In this week's question, Robert Apple asked about the use of watermarks, an undoubtedly controversial topic among us photographers worldwide. Follow this link to share your opinion with us about the use or misuse of watermarks in photography.
Dave Watkins shared a nice shot of a crowd of cormorants which I suspect required him lots of patience to achieve:
He also shared a personal classic for him, a neighbor’s oak tree “with a light dusting of snow yesterday morning.”
Tersha shared a bright shot of a fully-open amaryllis:
