Wow...good eyes! I must admit I didn't notice that little bit on the left. This is slightly cropped from the original, and I did crop out a tree on the left - I must have left that little nugget in there. Thanks for the suggestions...I will clean it up and repost it!

Very nicely shot. I think the little edge of a tree or building at the top left edge (next to the spire) needs to be cropped off and maybe trim a tad bit off the right & top for a balanced composition, but a technically very good shot. you've captured the colour nicely. Dunc
Absolutely. Thank you for the kind review. This is at Epcot Center in Disney World - in the World Showcase Lagoon during their Illuminations show. I had come out of dinner just minutes before the show, and spontaneously decided to shoot it - I had no tripod so I had to lay the camera on a wall and use the self timer to snap. I had to use approx. 6x zoom here - roughly 216mm equivalent. In the background near center is the China pavilion, and to the far left is the Norway pavilion.
Lovely long exposure used to good effect here.
The metering looks spot-on, showing the individual jets of the fountains and also retaining some foreground detail and sky colour.
Could you tell us the location?
Mike.
