Swimming Not Recommended
These were taken at Lake Wendouree in Ballarat (VIC), and as the sign says Swimming is not recommended.
And neither is anything else really. The next two were certainly not going anywhere in a hurry. 
And these jetties are not getting too much use. 
My camera and I should have been under water in this shot. 
I would love any comments or criticism. Thanks for looking. Russell
The second one is a classic

I like #2 and #3 best. It is really scary how dry it is around

These shots are all very good, but isn't it a sad reminder of how little water is around these days.

Hey Russell - great shots !!!
My only 'beef' is the colour and saturation of the sky in the last shot .... I guess metering for the ground has lead to the sky being blown, and the recovery in PS has made the sky purple  ..
But a fantastic series of shots just the same Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships! -Ansel Adams

Thanks all to your comments. The building in the second photo is the Ballarat Sailing Club. It certainly is very dry at the moment.
It was a funny sensation walking on the dry lake, as the ground was quite spongey, and almost like you were sinking.
blacknstormy, thanks for the feedback. I looked at it too, and thought I had pushed the colours a bit. ... It was a very overcast day, and the raw was quite bleak with a very washed out sky. Just playing now, it seems taking the exposure down by .5 adds to the purple highlights around the clouds. I definitely need more practice in the PP department though. Russell
Russell - Fantastic shots telling a really poignant story. The Begonia Princess looks a bit sad, looks like her Prince Charming is nowhere to be found.
Sure is. A pity, that is. What are we all going to drink when there is none left? Use it wisely people.  Mark

Disturbing & powerful images, here's hoping this drought will end soon, very nice work.
It's raining in Sydney atm, gauge is showing 1/2", certainly need much more than that but we'll take every drop we can. Cheers, Rob.
