This is an interesting shot. The view and you witty title makes it an interesting viewing. Fine composition, soft colours and very good light makes this very viewable!

Quite an impressive fountain. I like the line up of ducks without a single person in sight. The composition is very good and the details are well shown.

Hi Mary!
That's an attractive & interesting image,my friend!
It's pleasantly Exotic looking
( as just about every scene from the far off land of 'Oz' is to this relatively unsophisticated old Yank! : ) ) and it's a lot of fun to view!
The rather blank looking sky behind the fountain might be taking a little away from the picture's impact but that's certainly nothing of a major problem! ( It's a Summer 'Heat Sky' after all and that's how they look! )
It's another 'Good Show' in my opinion!

Comment from Paul G.
So, you DID end up getting your ducks in a row...interesting. I like the glow on the end of the fountain. You caught the lighting perfectly. The ducks are almost in silhouette, adding depth and interest. Well done and thank you for sharing.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
A cute & candid capture!! Subtle illumination. Pin sharp focusing. Creative concept. Innovative approach. Imaginative presentation.
Better if we can burn the bright sky my friend, as its quite glaring...Good perspective & long depth of field...
Thanks for sharing...

Thanks Dick, would have tried to do something with the sky but have lost my editing program, new laptop with Windows 10 and my old editing program won't recognize NEF format and trying to upgrade but having issues. Frustrating as the basic editor allows me to crop and adjust contrast that's it!! Going to give in and go to Office Works and buy LIghtroom or something.

Comment from GaliaG
good capture of this line of waiting birds, but the bright and boring sky takes from the initial impact and the score

thanks for sharing

Thanks so much GailiaG yes the sky was boring but couldn't crop it out as you lost top of fountain. Typical Adelaide sky at dusk after a hot day.
