Fountain, Sousse, Tunisia, 2008

The beauty of this image rests in the expression of sculpted exhilaration amidst an explosion of water droplets. Using the shutter priority mode on my camera, I selected 1/1000th of a second, which enabled me to many droplets in mid-flight. The pair of statues are also flanked by two jets of water that are moving so fast that even 1/1000th of a second exposure fails to freeze them, allowing the spouts to create blurred pillars of energy as context.

Thanks, Rusty -- the vitality comes from the art of the sculptor, my angle of view, and my inclusion of the frozen water droplets on either side. Both sculptor and photographer intend to portray the fountain as a study in exhilaration -- thanks for appreciating it, Rusty.

it is somewhere between hard and impossible to bring a statue to life, but you've done it.
