What a fun image of water - it took a second to realize I was looking at water spouts and not a structure! CJ

Mister Mattias ;).

Great shot, love the composition and perspective....
Fountains do in fact look a bit like neon tubes, must be a trick of the camera ;-).

And thank you, Christina. Yes, cake frosting or neon tubes. Water? Not really :)

Thanks, Rod, I thought about you when taking it :) Yes, Paul, it's a bit unfocused I see. But they placed this at a place where it was impossible to place the camera on firm ground if one wanted to include all of these in the shot and avoid including the side of the dock. So I had to lean out over the edge and try to keep the camera still for two seconds, and as we all know it's not always that easy. You see what I mean herehttp://www.pbase.com/mistermattias/image/69406570, where the dock is included in the lower left corner.

The focusing isn't crash hot here but if anything that's not a bad thing as it gives the water coming out of the fountains a glass like feel as if they're neon tubes.

Very cool color capture here! It almost looks more like cake frosting than water!
