3. Post your single picture in this thread, and explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and chose 1 of them to be the judge for the next week.

Pentaxperson: the pic doesn't load for me!

PS: last day of entries! I don't know how my schedule will allow me to do judging on wednesday, but I have day off on Thursday so I'll definitely post winners before lunchtime on that day

good luck to all

Lao Boat on the Mekong River

I am not sure why the image does not appear, but click on the link and you will see the picture.
Anyway I'm Adam A. and I use a K10, and had a chance to travel around Cambodia and Laos for a year between 2007 and mid 2008.

I took this picture because I really enjoy water and boats, especially old ones.

Adam

Hi Adam, welcome to these forums! I hope you enjoy them.
Did you read the suggestions for posting pictures in the "Post your pictures" section? There are several sticky items to help you with this kind of thing.....

Hope to see more of your pictures in the future!

I see this sight almost every day, and it always impresses me. It is a sunrise on the Mississippi river, in Clarksville, Missouri. Taken with my K200D, ISO 100, f/4.0, 1/60th with 50-300mm at 75mm.
