This is a gorgeous scene with the water shooting up in such pleasant shapes and white water. The rest of the scene is simply lovely. Best wishes in the contest.

A lovely composition of the fountain with the meditating figure in distance.
The water droplets and spray from the fountain is shown clearly.
Good color and focus.

A beautiful picture of this back lit fountain in one of London's many Parks with the sun's rays lighting the ground between the trees on either side. Artistic composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of this fountain.

Your camera settings are well established and have produced a high-resolution image of good contrast, color and tonal range.

This is an excellent entry for this contest, good luck... Bob

    Ha ha I think Nikman's reviews are rubbing off on you Bob!
    . . . .unless of course you thought this was one of his - it's not :)

    Thanks for your review

Definitely something to look at and enjoy many moments of contemplation. The visual beauty of a fountain is an ever changing display. A change of the wind will create a cool breeze welcomed on a hot dry day. Very nicely presented. The best of luck in the fountain contest. Ray

A very beautiful visual presented here of this water fountain. I like your composition, shades, tones, colors, and angle that you used to capture this moment. Very well done. Thank you for sharing.

This is a wonderful shot of a fountain. You have framed it well showing a distant figure too. The light and shadows, colours, and composition have worked out well. Good luck!

    Thanks Brian. I do understand why you would have done it in a vertical shot, but to be honest it was the dappled sunlight and the seated figure on the far side that really drew my eye and I wanted to incorporate them in the shot.
    Have a great day in London tomorrow, if you get a chance go to Regents Park, you can get really close to the herons there!

Good usage of light, ISO, and shutter speed to capture the individual droplets of water. It creates a very dynamic photo. Your eye is drawn to the fountain and then back to the pond.
