So let's start a little mobile photography competition, albeit friendly, thread.

Entering is easy. Just drop your entry in a post below. Tell us what phone you used to get the picture, and any back story you want to add to it. I'll pick a winner Thursday (May 5 2016) at 14H00, and announce them in here. Winner will host the next contest.

Rules:
1) Pictures must be taken with a mobile device (phone or tablet)
2) Pictures must be uploaded to this thread. I'm not running all over the Internet to track them down.
3) You have to tell us what device you used to take the picture, and any special software you might have used. Editing your pictures is fine — this is art.
4) Feel free to add a little back story — we want to know how the picture came to be.
5) As many entries per person per contest per person as you like!

Good luck, everyone!

Theme for this week: WATER

^ Stunning Rhandir.

Here is a very old pic I took with my Samsung S3. I lost the original when they ransacked our house so only have this low res version left.

Edited a bit in Lightroom if I can remember correctly.

Very nice.

Phone will always struggle to capture as much detail and dynamic range because of the smaller sensor. But yeah not bad at all.

Where's the water? WHAT AM I NOT SEEING?!
 
So I was looking through my Google Photos collection, by just searching for "water" and found this.

Take Dec 2013 with my then phone at the time, Note 3. Completely unedited.
