all this

I was actually planning something a little different for this particular Iron Photographer shot, but I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing when I was watering the plant, and I poured water all over the table, and there you go.
That's my jade plant. I love it.
The image is Water Serpents I by Gustav Klimt. It is one of my very favorite paintings, and I saw it in Vienna (on this day, in this museum). I was very hungover. There was a special Klimt exhibition in the museum that day, Klimt und die Frauen, and most people were rushing through to see The Kiss, which has become something of a college dorm room wall poster cliche, but is amazing in person. I was glad that people were on a mission, however, because I got to look at this one for a long time, mostly undisturbed. It's absolutely stunning.
Then we left and went to see Lohengrin at the opera house. Or one act of it, rather. We had to leave early because... well, it's a long story that involves a very mean woman in a very ugly sparkly gold sweater.
And the next day we went to Munich and drank a lot of beer.
The end.
The Iron Photographer Challenge
Here are the new elements:
1 - a picture
2 - water
3 - minimal shadow
The first element, a picture, can encompass any sort of picture. A photograph, an illustration cut from a magazine, a painting, a pencil drawing...it's up to you. The only caveat is that it must be abundantly clear that it IS a picture.
The second element is water. We're talking about H2O, two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to a single oxygen atom. We're talking about the colorless, odorless, tasteless liquid that freezes to form ice at 0°C and boils to form steam at 100°C (at normal atmospheric pressure). We're talking about water in its liquid form. Water.
The final element, minimal shadow, is pretty much open to intrepretation. We want to see the shadow, but we don't want to see much of it. The shadow needs to be in the photograph, but it should take up very little of the frame.
