Photographer's Note
The Merlion is a mythical half lion, half fish beast conjured up by Singapore's tourism board. The large statue which spouts water from its mouth was erected at the mouth of the Singapore river in 1972. After the construction of the Esplanade Bridge in 2002, it was moved further out and now sits on the quay around the One Fullerton building.
A much larger version of the Merlion sits in the middle of Sentosa Island.

Ciao Daniele!
Mi piace lo sfondo scuro e il leone ben esposto. Il tempo di posa lunghissimo dà all'acqua uno strano aspetto,comunque piacevole. Ho fatto un ws.

Beautiful details on the fountain, Daniele. The exposure seem just right. The WS from markogts cropped a bit to much from the bottom but points in the right direction I think.
Anyway well done and way better then some of my nightshot tries lately. :-)
