the fountains Photo

Photographer’s Note

Snapshot / candid photo.
Around the large, circular king place stand fountains. The pedestrians go between the particular fountains. Usually one gets wet feet. With wind one becomes likewise wet. The majority of the inhabitants does not like these fountains, but the children have much fun.
In the background the blue tram.

Guten Morgen Wolfgang!
Du hast einfach den Blick fürs Ungewöhnliche ...
Ein wirklich interessantes und originelles Foto mit einer ungewöhnlichen Zusammenstellung von Objekten. Die Haare der jungen Dame sind DER "Hingucker" (tolles Wort!;-) hier!
Wieder ein sehenswertes Bild!
Grüße aus dem noch sonnigen Siegen!

Hallo Wolfgang und einen guten Morgen,

heute verewige ich mich mal direkt zu Beginn, bevor ich wieder an mir selbst zu zweifeln beginne. Tolle graphische Elemente und mit dem Einbezug der Personen und des Hintergrundes ein klasse Bild..

Gruß Bernd

Hello Wolfgang, I know the fountains you are talking about & children are the same all over the world, while adults stay away the children are attracted to them, like a bee to honey. I like your idea here & very well realised, I like the white stripes & contrast between the red & blue.
Very well seen.
Thank you
Regards
Santo

Hello Wolfgang,
A very interesting and amusing daily life image. I like the use of the vertical format and the backdrop offered by the blue tram. Very well seen and executed.

Hello Wolfgang
Quite a bizarre photo. Very simple photo with only a few colours and the red hair against the blocks of blue of the tram really stand out.
TFS, Marlene

Hello Wolfgang,
clever your idea to shot the most decisive moment,during the passing by of the young woman in frond of the fountain's water.I like this snapshot and imagine the dislike when pedestrians passing through and get wet.Well done.

Have a nice afternoon,Danos

Sehr schöner Blick fürs Detail. man hat den Eindruck, das man hier nicht trocken an den Wasserfontänen vorbeikommt.
Viele Grüße,

Hallo Wolfgang,
hübsche Bögen des Wassers, der Wassereffekt kommt gut heraus mit dem halb transparenten Durchscheinen. Die blaue Straßenbahn passt vorzüglich als Hintergrund.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hello Wolfgang,

What a wonderful composition with those people walking through the fountains. From this point of view it seems like the way to pass in between two fountains is only a small strip. Nice compo as well that you do not see the water land. And the blue tram adds a nice punch. Love it!

Greetings,
Dennis

First time to see a pedestrian with fountains, definitely kids would like it. Congrats to your timing and compo. It's an interesting scene.

Hello Wolfgang, excellent capture very well seen, I like the strange fountains and the way you used them in your shot with the people passing within. The vivid colors of the tram make a very nice background.
Best regards,
Kostas.

Hello Wolfgang,
Interesting and original image...
The water flows across the image and strangely cuts the pedestrians passing by... Well done!
Have a nice day.
Best regards, Christian

Hey Wolfgang.

Nice picture! I like the fact that they both look disinterested to the fact that there is water flying near them!

Good Capture!

Blair

Perfect moment. The interplay of city fixtures and people, frozen in time. Outstanding.

Hi Wolfgang, very different approach to the fountain of the place.. the people walk between them and maybe get wet as you said.. it must be enjoyable! but as in your note, the people don't like them too much.. but i like them too much!
