Wow.

It's thursday and there's only one entrant here? Like your choice of composition disneydentist.

I guess I picked a clunker of a category here this week.

Keith,

Personally I thought is was interestimg. The problem is that I don't really have that many good waterpark photos. The good camera stays in the room and the little waterproof point and shoot comes out. The quality just isn't up to the standards of what we usually see people post here in the contest.

The other thing, for me at least, is that most of my waterpark pics are of my family getting drenched. I seriously debated using one of my wife screaming when a blast of cold water hit her.

Thanks for the comment on the composition.

This was taken with my point and shoot. I leave the good camera in the room safe.
