I like it! Excellent perspective. ~

Wonderful feeling of movement. Water arches contrast nicely with the linear architecture. V

Isn't it wonderful how we all have different opinions! Personally, the division into four quarters doesn't do it for me - I can't see the connections between the constituent parts, and there's nothing in the frame which makes that connection for me. And I agree with Lisa about the central composition. But I don't know how you could have done it any different and still get the fountains in shot

I'm going to sound like a right numpty and contradict myself but it is a stunning shot all the same!! :o))

I think Norbi nailed the comments, you can see four distinct areas in this, and it works really well. But the bottom shadow is just a little distracting, overall though this is an excellent shot.

I think it's a stunning shot, the only thing I would think about is the central composition. WI wonder if it would work if you cropped it at the right side?

Interesting image Walter, its hard to say how this could be improved, the shadow along the bottom, is very prominent, and it works very well. The only possible improvement this image could have had, is a significant reduction in DOF, making the BG more creamy, and less distracting from the curved lines created by the water traces. That said, its a stunning image!

Your composition, the perspective and the light are all perfect, Walter! V

Think you found the best perspective to make it exciting. Very nice work.

WOW. Love this perspective.

Excellent point of view and stop action.

Ah oui... bien vue. Le cadrage avec cette perspective est magnifique. V

Guess this is a well planned composition. An imaginary cross is parting the scenery into four interesting parts but connected together by the bows of the fountains.
