Additional comment: It is still the highest rated for this camera type, and I hope to do better in the future. When I looked back at the orriginal, I didn't crop it lower down because at that point you can see the water is a muddy color from the street light that was directly over my head. I ended up shielding the lens from that light with my body to prevent the picture from being washed out. Also further left and right there are street lamps that would have looked tacky.

The fountain was bottom lit by a floodspot that is right in the base of the 'V'. The fountain was tilted over at a harsh angle.

The picture was taken about 2 am and a tripod was used.
I had to take several shots because cars kept driving into the frame.
The fuzzyness is because a stream of water isn't an static object. I did almost no editing other than crop. I didn't do enough rotate.

that's neat

Maybe would have been better croppped in on the fountain? Or the fountain & full reflection?
I guess a faster shutter would have blacked out the background too.
Still, a very beautiful feature and a nice photo.
Well done.

cool.
I have a hankering to see the rest of the reflection or to crop a bit off the bottom. Just my opinion.

nice fountain. I wish I didn't have to work so hard to figure it out though.

Nice shot, though it's tilted too much to the left, a little rotating would fix it right up.

Nice effect. Think I would be tempted to crop in closer tho.

real nice. might've made a better long rectangle than this talll one, or maybe you could've got the entire reflection. shot this way to crop out other light sources? what is this thing, anyway? whatever it is, it's real purty.

This is a neat shot, with a neat subject. It seems to be tilted pretty hard to the right though? - JB
