this, i like. Its different and nice silohette (i know the spelling is wrong, :) )
Could have done with a faster shutter speed as there is bluring on the right figure.
Also that figure is holding a camera of some sort, maybe a phone. Looks a little out of place. Maybe could paint or burn it out. Maybe even Clone it out.
Another option would be to crop around the 3 people in the water feature. As long as the people, enough of the water rising up and the peoples shadows were kept, it could be a completly different photo to post up. :)

Unfortunately I don't do cropping, and only things I stamp out is dust. I try to keep it that way. These are film shots and meant to be printed in darkroom, so it wouldn't be the same photo anymore.

Can't really explain. ;)

i got ya. some photographers are like that. personaly i crop and clone when i can, if it means a better photo. Mainly cos i started in film, but since u can only take so much with roll of film, i got into the edit side quickly. Kinda stayed that way, but not to the same degree as when i started out.

I have walked past this fountain every summer so many times. I've taken many photos of it myself as well, but this one you have taken is possibly my all time favourite photo from this favourite spot of mine. :heart:

It looks like the person on the right is taking a photo of his wife and children, or a girl taking a photo of her friend with children. I can't tell the sex of the figure. Doesn't matter.

If you don't crop, clone stamp, don't. The photo is what you want it to be. Great photography is simply supposed to evoke an emotion. Technicalities like blur are irrelevant for something like this. It all works for me.

I think you already know this, but you picked the best possible angle to get the light showing through the rising water. It just wouldn't be the same from the other side with the people all lit up. It would look dull. This is grand.
