This is a shot of the two boys on top of the fountain behind the Eckhart Public Library in Auburn, Indiana. They are fighting over, or trying to catch a goose (I can't decide which). The goose's beak points up, and the water fountains from it. The sheep / rams' heads around the edge of each platform also stream water.

I took this shot by using the water droplets falling around the boys backlit by the sun.

I **love** this interpretation of the challenge. You use the "interference" of water as the equivalent of the Impressionist painting techniques to make light your subject.

Interesting. On first look, before I scrolled to your title, I thought it was the head of a teddy bear.

Brilliant, it looks like you have created this impressionist feel using the spray from a fountain rather than filters. Have to say that I am not anti filter but that by you doing it naturally it takes a great shot to an even more impressive level 9

Looks a bit like a Jackson Pollock.
