Photo: The Fountain

The Fountain — water from a man-made fountain, frozen in motion [1]

A coquina-rock fountain out front of the City Hall in Holly Hill, Florida. I used a 1/1600 shutter speed to freeze the water drops. The bright green lawn and yellow rocks matched well. I tried a shot from down low, with the water against the sky, but it was too dark and lifeless. This is certainly more attractive.

Source image [4]. Just simple contrast improvements. I cloned out two distracting droplets at the bottom of the frame, and a red stop sign in the background.
