bram meijer 0 Posted November 4, 2004 Like the colors and compostion and exposure-time. Just long enough to see the water streaming. Just one tiny little thing.. The person behind the lion. Regards, Bram Link to comment
ljk 0 Posted November 5, 2004 I really like the way you composed this, and the shutter speed works extreamely well.... Link to comment
nher 0 Posted November 5, 2004 I can hear thw water coming down! Thanks for remembering so many moments in this square. I used to go every sunday to a pub nearby where all the Spaniards gather to have a wine or two, play the guitar and sing a bit of flamenco. That was 22 years ago! Link to comment
colin carron 58,916 Posted November 6, 2004 Hi Bram! I like the boy playing on the lion as it gives scale and is a very typical feature of the place! Linda, thanks! the shutter speed was a bit of a guess but I'm making out it was pure skill! Angel, how time flies! Glad you have some good memories of the place. - regards Colin Link to comment
carsten_ranke 0 Posted November 7, 2004 Nice shot, I like also Hans? version. Good use of the IS - let me guess: 1/8 sec handheld ? Link to comment
colin carron 58,916 Posted November 7, 2004 Thanks Carsten. I guess about 1/4 sec propped on the camera bag and tripped by the self timer! Link to comment
blueyezz 0 Posted November 10, 2004 I visited London for 3 brief days in 2001. All your photos are wonderful and bring back fond memories; this one especially. One day I hope to return. Thanks for sharing your work. Link to comment

watermark_of_merni 14 Posted March 3, 2005 What a wonderful, dramatic composition . This makes me feel as if I'm playing in the fountain. Link to comment
Doug Keller 0 Posted May 17, 2005 This is one of my favorites images of yours, Colin. It has a nice aesthetic quality, of course, and plenty of visual energy, with the water bubbling and boiling in the wind and all... but I especially like how the lion is so strong-looking but is also so pleasantly at rest... at his favorite watering hole, maybe... nicely framed. I never thought at all about lions and fountains like this before... but I do now (viva photo.net!). And then, yes there's more... there's that elegant contrast between the wild beast and the fragile boy... both just peacefully getting along... and all of this encased in golden-hued stone and iron. Me like. Link to comment
chloe 0 Posted October 31, 2005 I've been to London this september and this really captures the atmospheare at Nelson's Column.... great photo!! Congrats chloe Link to comment
mariellen romer 0 Posted January 12, 2007 Well, to re-open the colour debate can of worms, I liked the turquouise water in traflagar sq better than the one I think you guys ended up with, counter- balanced with the corally colour of the stone, (complementary?) worked for me. Great shot in any case. Mariellen Link to comment
