nice subject choice. the clarity of the water spray is great

Man I didn't know the fountain was on during this challenge, dang it. I would have gone for this shot too. Probalby wouldn't have done this well though. Good job.

The lights and colors flow together smoothly, very pretty

I really like the colors, but the compositon isn't interesting, and the fact that the image is slightly tilted to the left bothers me a little bit when I'm looking at it. The tilting can be easily fixed in post, of course. But I think if I had taken the picture I would have tried to position myself closer (not trying to capture the whole fountain) and get some of the tallest buildings filling up the background. I think that would make the picture more dramatic.
That being said, I should admit that I don't know if the terrain would allow me to do that, since it's so dark and can't really tell what the geography is like, so these are only suggestions.

I really like the silky look of the center fountain spray
05/04/2005 04:24:45 PM
I like the top spray of the fountain and the darkness of the sky. I might've cropped a little tighter moving the fountain to the right.

What a beatiful pic! I really like the colours on it. Where was it taken? 10. Good luck in the challenge.

I really like this. The fountain reallly stands out against the sky and everything looks nice and sharp.

Excellent colors! 7

Buck's got a nice view.

Very nice lighting. Minor nit: I wish I could see some stars. That might be impossible with so much albedo from the city.
