Four Fountains

Nikon D100, Tamron 24-135mm

Well, I thought this was kind of a whimsical sight, seen at City Hall, SF.

Hey, cool shot. I thought it was dice at first. I like the way the lines work and the spigots and handles look like dots. The lightness on the right pulls my eye over a little, but overall, it's a fun photo.

GREAT photo, Warren! It totally baffled me (in a good way!) for a few seconds, and then when I realized what I was looking at, I had to smile and just keep looking.

Yeah, I agree withe eric - it's a fun photo-- a real keeper.

Warren,

I think I know those on the 2nd flr. I like the alternating heights. Good effect. Did you do a WB check, color seems off?

Thanks for the comments, guys.

The "lightness" is a result of some daylight filtering through a window that landed on the two fountains on the right.

Dan, I intended the color to be "off" because I liked the surreal quality that it gave the scene. :)

looks almost like a sauna setting at first glance, which makes these cooler water fountains very appealing! :) nice shot!

Warren,

Interesting choice of focus. Something most of us walk right by each day. I like the various components of compositions. What I want to know is how you framed the shot?

The frame is using the door to the restroom area. The four fountains were right at the entrance. The entry was brightly lit compared to the ambient light just outside of the doorway.
