A very unusual fountain picture, Gerda! Water around center looks almost like the flame from a gas stove! #99507Stanley J. Contrades February 21, 2004
I really does look like a blue flame coming from a stove, Gerda, and the spray over the sides is very unusual. Very nice detail and capture.Claudia Kuhn February 21, 2004
Nice one Gerda! It reminds me of a large Icelandic poppy flower with that black center. #389198Mette Vendelboe Allison February 21, 2004
Very cool looking shot, Gerda! #389218Leanne M.E. Boyd February 21, 2004
Excellent shot Gerda - almost looks like a flower. #389657Gerda Grice February 21, 2004
Thank you very much, Leanne, Mette, Claudia and Stan, for your kind comments! I think that the slow shutter speed caused by the low light and the fact that I was looking down at the fountain combined to give the fountain the look it has in this image. #389729Sharon E. Lowe March 19, 2004

Thank you very much, Linnea! That fountain is one of my favourite fountains in Toronto. It puts on a continuous display of various fountain "tricks". #580421Susie Peek-Swint August 19, 2004
Cool shot Gerda ~ well deserved finalist!! #721135Gerda Grice August 19, 2004
Thank you so much again, Susan. I'm a bit of a fountain freak, and I really like that particualr fountain. It has a really nice repertory of tricks, one of which is a quick, narrow high, thrust of water that reaches about 3 storeys above its own height. It does that 3 times in quick succession about every 15 minutes. #721238Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
