This is COOL!!

It was a VERY hot afternoon in London. On the plaza near the London City Hall (see some other images in this same folder) they had a large area of these fountains that you could walk right across. There were lots of little kids running around and seeming to have more fun than they would have in a swimming pool.

 

Any thoughts you might have would be most welcome! :-)

Any comments or ratings are appreciated! :-)

Ohhh!!!! I wanna do that, too!!!

 

what an excellent shot, Lou Ann! :)

Did you notice how he's standing directly on top of one of the fountains, trying to get the water to stop? :-)

Great shot.

Very well caught! The kid loks like he is waiting for the fountain to zap him. I can't remember whether these vary in height or not. We saw one in Bern Switzerland where you never knew which jet was going to go off next. Naturally Matt and I dared each other to walk through them all. I pleaded that I couldn't on account of the nice new camera :-)

sure did! and... well, he's clever ;)

My Favorite Lou Ann, because the composition is so good, and has the punch. I like his silhouette among the "junmping" water,I like the nice BG, even I would have tried to clon out the line under the painting that is touching his head, but that is a small issue. I like it (as I have already wrote you )that you include more possibilities of a given scene!Always bring more interest! The title is nore than appropriate.

Thank you folks ... and, Pnina, you're so right - not only should I clone out the "line" that touches his head (I guess it's a placard explaining the photo), but the mechanical stuff that's attached to the board (top center). That would simplify the composition even more!

This IS cool, Lou Ann. I keep asking myself if it would have been better front-lighted rather than from the back, but I'm not sure. Either way, it's a winner.
