Sculpture and Fountain .....CC requested.

Something isn't sitting right with me about this shot and I can't put my finger on it. I like the processing, but something is bugging me. Suggestions appreciated.

Personally, I like it.

Really good processing, nice subject, nice contrast.

Very nice job!

I like this image, as well ... certainly nothing bothers me about it ... I like the dynamic flow of the water, and everything is lit well.

I guess if I wanted to be nit-picky ... a couple of the jets seem to be having "prostate trouble" ... and maybe that the very edges of the fountain are clipped but that's way out on the edges and I don't notice it.

Nice catch ! O, I like this fountain in your picture. Just a suggestion, maybe can you try later in the night ? The background is kind of busy and uneven, maybe darkness would cover it up a bit. Otherwise the shape of this water streams is just sexy.

Thanks!!! Not sure what was throwing me off, maybe just something about the symmetry.

Ahh.. The Ol' Symmetry thing.

FYI: trying to capture perfect symmetry is next to impossible, and the closer one gets to it, the more one can find wrong with it. I think our best hope of showing symmetry is to show what it could have been, not necessarily what we can see.

In the fountain, you've got at least one burned-out light, some jets not as high as others, fountain not centered on the background trees, different buildings and lights in the background, etc., etc.

I agree, it is probably a combination of those small things that are bugging me.
