Critique Welcomed Well Water

[Aldous Lau]

This is the well water from the mountain naturally. Not sure whether "well water" is the correct vocabulary, pls correct me if I am wrong

 

[Pete Askew]

Usually a well is a hole cut into the ground to access water from the water table. Their depth is dependent on how far down that is. I guess, technically, this is a cistern. Either way it's a lovely shot. I like the overall 'wetness' and the pattern in the surface of the water. Very nice.

Thanks Pete and thanks the word "cistern"

I love this Aldous. The depth of the water with whatever is growing down there. I love the bucket too, with the two different coloured ropes. Very nice

How does the water get into this thing!
Pete used the term Cistern. A cistern usually collects runoff water from some surface and stores it in a tank for later use. Many Montanans use cisterns to store their household water. They fill the cistern from a municipal water supply. Many towns have a spot where people can fill large tanks carried on a truck. They truck the water back home to fill their cistern. Some use the tank on their truck as their cistern.

When I saw the photo I immediately thought it might be a spring. But a spring usually flows continuously so the tank would need an overflow of some sort to channel away excess water,

In any case the photo is nice. I really like the composition, the clear view into the water and the detail surround the opening.

Thanks Ralph. I am not sure whether this is a cistern or a spring, because that location is on desolated island, therefore no one lives there really, people just gone there for hiking during daytime, so I have no idea where's the water came from
