Olaf,
I like this shot. Very appealing. Crisp and sharp. Roberta

You know, I didn't realize at first that this is also a mimicry of the statue. The statue, playing with the water is the vertical of the boy doing so! ~ LOnnit

Thanks Lonnit! This one might end up in the exhibition gallery, if I get some better shots later. Posted this as I thought the various zig-zaging directions made for a kind of interesting composition. You could start at any corner and be lead to the main subjects (the statue boy and the "live" boy) - if not directly then indirectly. If, for example, you start in the lower left corner, the yellow brick wall brings you up to the statue which together with the beam of water and the trees in the upper left corner is perpendicular in direction and therefore redirects your eye movement. If you follow that direction to the lower edge of the photo, you get to the edge of the fountain, which in turn leads up again to the "live" boy. --Olaf
