Oh my goodness this is an amazing shot! The light and the way it plays off of every bead of water and the beautiful fountain itself. I especially love the little boy and how he looks like he's having so much fun with not a care in the world. An incredible picture!

lighting and exposure are perfect in this. love the way you captured the water fountain movement (im sure there's a more technical way to put that but i think you get my point lol)...cool capture overall. great work as always.

This photo just screams movement! With the crisp sharp water drops and the boy playing around, it really does capture the relief from a sweltering summers day. And I think you captured the playfulness of children as well, I love how you caught him jumping around in the fountain. And the title is very creative too! LOL it took me the longest time to figure out that the statues were ducks...I'm definitely convinced my finals are frying my brain!
I think I'd like to go jump in the fountain myself!

I love how you caught the fountain backlit, so the water looks like a veil of drops falling down, and then there's the almost explosive splashing back up at the base of the fountain.
As you say, it's all about the timing.
That duck with the red trunks is cute He better be wearing sunscreen though or he's gonna be the same colour
nice to see you doing something a little different Kevin
