old, but still working

Beautiful old fountain, the sepia effect had the intended results, but I am almost wishing I could see the flowers in front in color.
This looks Italian or Greek?
Love the fact you captured the water element.

    Thank you very much for your kind review. The style is probably adapted from Europian architecture, but the fountain is located at the Southrn US.

    Well there are beautiful architectural elements we here in the US adopted. I could see where this could be in LA or SC or GA

This is a beautiful old fountain, and I am so happy to see that it is still working. This is also a photo looking good in sepia, and the flow of water is well captured.

Your photo is nice and sharp showing such clear and well defined details in every part of the fountain together with the great textures.

The tight cropping has worked well, and so does the centered position of the fountain within the frame. A lovely and well taken photo with an excellent DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

Comment from Joanna Bachman


Photograph literally bathes us with its flow.You have captured that both,above and below.Too,the ornamental work on the stone,including its worn aspects,is,beautifully,done.Against your brownish charcoal background,the light gray of the stone fountain stands our,quite well.
Cordially,
Joanna Bachman

This is an interesting shot of an old fountain. The sepia version is presented well.
The light and shadows, and the composition have worked out well. Good luck in the contest!

Quite a nice entry into the competition posted here! Your full and central composition grants us a good look at your old fountain. Wonder where in the world you took it? Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!

Comment from GaliaG


nice idea, but there are some mistakes
first : the building is falling to the left
second: the tonal range is not good
3th: the focus is very soft

still, good luck with the contest and thanks for sharing

    Thank you very much for your critical review. This is not a building, but a fountain. Due to your input, I have measured the space from the frame to the horizontal ledge. The space is identical on both sides.. I cannot see anything falling to the left.

This looks great for the sepia contest. The found has so much detail to it. You have the fountain dead center in the framing. I don't know what the background is, but it is in the same hue making the sepia added to it even better.

    Thank you very much for your encouraging review. The background is a shadowed grove of tropical plants.

    You are more than welcome. I really liked the background too.

Nice entry for the contest, this old fountains age is supported by the sepia tone, I see nice detail in the structure of the fountain and like that the water is flowing through it. This is well focused, the image is clear, exposure is well managed, the sepia shows good tonal variations. This is well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in the contest!
