The falls at Findlay Park (detail) Photo

Photographer’s Note

(Jeeze, I forgot to write a note first time)

This is (again) a section of the fountain at Findlay Park in downtown Columbia. It is so huge and there are so many really cool sections, I seldom tire of the different views of it. This is just one of the different views. Hope you enjoy it.

Hi Shelly,
A park with a waterfall, now that's different. From your note are you telling me that these lovely falls are man made, amazing, they look so natural.
Excellent POV, you have a nice blend of vertical and horizontal lines in the falls and the railings and the one piece of greenery positioned just off-center works very well. I like the way the light is being reflected in the silvery water.
Very nice work.
Regards
Peter

Hello Shelly,

Your composition is well conceived and perfectly implemented. I can feel the cold water and hear the sounds of the water splashing on the rocks.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hi Shelly,

I like this shot, the railings and the waterfall are an unusual combination which I think adds interest to it. I'm not sure about your choice of shutter speed here though as you've not quite frozen the water or captured the sense of movement a longer exposure would have given you. Overall it's a nice scene though!

Cheers
Simon

Hi Shelly,
This charming spot is certainly easy on the eye and must do the same for the ear with the soothing sounds of the silver blue water tumbling over these giant rocks.
You did a fine job with the light in capturing this tranquil falls.

Hi Shelly
It looks cool and refreshing. Tom (Gunbud) says they are having hot weather right now. I'll bet he wishes he could sit here for a while. The light was well handled and just a little motion in the water.

Bonjour Shelly,
la où la netteté égale la fraicheur, les deux éléments clés de cette photo bien cadrée. J'aime bien cet ensemble de mini-cascades.
Best regards.

Hello Shelly,
Water is always a fascinating subject to photograph. This scene of the fountain looks so refreshing with the sunlight creating a beautiful sparkle on the falling water. I like your POV and the details and clarity of the picture are fabulous.
