I have just moved the following line up to the top as some folk are missing the point and meaning of ’ Activities’ .......”There must be somebody or something actually being active. Pics of static situations, however good, will be regretfully rejected.
Here are a few ideas to get you started: rowing, sailing, powerboat racing, swimming, diving & scuba diving, water polo, water skiing, surfing, wind surfing, kite boarding, para-gliding, canoeing & kayaking, white water sports etc.
Special consideration should be given to a pic before submitting it under the ‘activities’ banner. There must be somebody actually being active. Pics of static situations, however good, will be regretfully rejected.
Please submit any other closely related ideas not mentioned above; we like surprises. Nature shots (ducks etc) would be inappropriate for submission.
