Description
"I used to own a dinghy and can still sail one if pushed, but I like the pleasure boats." ~ John Dyer "We were fooling around in the shallows in the dinghy at the time, and I felt this withdrawal abruptly, as though the water had been yanked away from underneath. We bumped and dragged on the stony bottom." ~ Ruth Park
Okay, not the most inspiring quotes, but I challenge you to find a decent quote that uses the word "dinghy." Heheh. Speaking of challenges, I just found out that I was voted the winner for this February's Photography Genre Challenge. I am honored to have won, especially with all of the other wonderful entries, and appreciate those who voted for my image. By the way, the March theme is going to be Still Life, so start thinking about what you'd like to enter. -----
Thanks for your thoughtful comments on my previous upload,

And yes, shallow water and the presence of alligators
probably makes that sign a good idea. :')

Very nice black and white conversion on this one! Also nice composition with the boat. Only thing a little bit distracting is the upper part of the bridge. I think a thighter crop would make the image even better, but that is just me! Good work!

Very beautiful picture! No better quotes with dinghy on net but I found this one about boats: "Often it does seem a pity that Noah and his party did not miss the boat." Mark Twain :) Congratulations for the first place!
