During the first week of the semester, I ended up taking loads of picutres of brooks and ice at Osbornedale State Park (before I even knew we were going to have a week of shooting water). Luckily, I managed to keep dry despit tip-toeing my way on slippery, mossy rocks. I had fun editing the pictures in Picasa (especially using the saturation effect and color temperature tuning). I have loads of pictures of water/ice on my fotothing: http://www.fotothing.com/drivers. But here are two that I like: On the first, I focused just on the ice and adjusted highlights, which gives the ice a nice wet-feel; almost like the ice is crying. On the second, I amped up the highlights to give the already sparkling water a little more motion; I like it in color, but I like it even more in BnW.

Great post, Dan. You have indeed covered the water week well. Thanks for pointing out how editing in Picasa helps create a more expressive image.
