 One of my first attempts at timing a shot so that the natural and artificial lighting are perfectly balanced.

Of course, it is next to impossible to take a picture of the Trevi fountain without the accompanying swarms of tourists. I have a number of shots from this evening and I should be able to selectively stitch them together to remove the tourists.

I like the balance of colours that you've achieved here. The light is gorgeous - I'd love to know how you achieved the effect. I know what you mean about the tourists and in fact, you have precious few of them here, which is impressive all by itself. This sure is a major tourist trap. Unfortunately, it's a bit difficult to see the water, which is too bad because it's nice to get more of a "fountain" feel to the picture. Mind you, this is an enormous structure so it's difficult to get everything in from top to bottom.

I'm divided on the angle. Part me likes the angle of the photo because it gives some visual interest and a spark of life to the photo. Part of me would prefer that the fountain & building were level, I'm not sure why.

I really like the tones of blues mixed with the gold tones.
