Alexeig, it was taken at the National Gallery in Melbourne. The front window of the gallery has water running down it so that everything outside looks like an impressionist painting. It was a matter of metering correctly, then waiting patiently for the right composition to present itself. Too many people near the window and it looks messy....no one near the window and it looks bland. I literally had a split second to get this shot as she was moving fast and two steps would take her behind a concrete pillar.

Gayle, tell us more how it was taken.

Reminds me of works by Renoir, not just the PS like effect but the colours and composition too. ~kt

I like this. I presume this was shot through wet glass, and not photoshopped?
