Hi all I took this photo a while ago and i am just after some C&C. Im new but that doesnt mean you have to be gentle.

Thanks

Quite a nice image. Well done. The fountain is well composed and the exposure is excellent for the type of image.

But here's a couple of ideas for next time.

Try a wider aperture to blur some of the background as it is very busy with a lot of detail behind that is a bit distracting to me. The focus of the image is the fountain so that should be the highlighted part of the image. Background de-focus will give that. It wouldn't need a lot, but could do with some...maybe.... i guess it's all a matter of preference the more i think about it.

The half-a-chair on the right side would look better not in the image as it seems to cause a loss of balance to the walkway. Maybe all the chair or not at all would be better, but not half of it.

I do like it though.

Yeah it is pretty busy.

Point taken, thanks for your comments

Hi Justin,
I like this shot a lot, lots to look at. I personally don't think it's too busy.

I don't think its too busy either, I like the symmetry of the other objects in the scene as well, like the row of palms and the lights. I love the variety of colours in the picture too. No complaints from me.

This is the best take on this fountain I've seen (including a number of my own failed attempts). I like both the lighting and the composition, but like Steve would have preferred a slightly shallower DOF (bloody hard in a long exposure though )

Thanks for your comments guys

wow, i was there only took photos during the day, pitty i didn't go at night.

but i bet i still wouldn't spot this nice opportunity


great shot, nice composition
wouldn't mind to see one with less background detail though.

Lovely image Justin. Composition leads eye into the image. Exposure great too
cheers
