That is a great fountain. It caught my eye last time in was in NYC too.

That's an amazing shot. I think shooting fountains are very difficult and you got it perfectly as well as creatively.

Your capture of the various states of water is amazing. Great work!

Dragonstar said...

That's beautiful - like a dandelion seed head. I agree with Lachezar about the way you've caught the water.

Very nice!

James said...

Very cool! I was thinking the same thing as Dragonstar.

Great capture of this "seed head" fountain. Besides the water, I like all the lines you have here.

I like the simple black and white of this image, not a lot of grays.

That is the way to sprout water. One that wouldn't have worked in colour.

Cool fountain ... nice shot, lots of interesting details!

So lovely! I think the monochrone is a perfect shot as it accentuates the likeness of the water fountain to a dandelion. I really must go out and take more monochrome photography.

Very nicely done John. I think the film grain works well with the water.
