Water photography is intriguing for the same reason people like sitting at the beach or by the lake at the cottage: we're attracted to the energy of water. Water and fire are similar in this way because they're constantly moving and effect the way everything around them looks.
These examples of water photography play on both sides of the water: above and below. Those photos from above the water often use reflection to create dynamic compositions. One such photo shows a bird flying really close to the water. So close, in fact, that it looks like there are two birds flying on top of each other.
We also see a series of underwater photos of dogs, which is fun and unique.
