Patricia, Carla, Susan . . . Thank you all for your feedback. This is a new sculpture park in downtown St. Louis called CityGarden. The fountains dance and change colors. It's a fun place to photograph.

Thanks, Maxine. I rented a fisheye lens and went out playing with it. You can get some neat effects with a fisheye.

Very creative and original work. I love the ethereal feel from the lights and lens distortion.

Congratulations on the fine Finalist Mary. This deserves to go gold. #9044822

Mary L. Olson November 17, 2010

Thank you so much, Irene. I shot this in downtown St. Louis in a new area called CityGarden. These fountains are so much fun! They dance and change colors constantly. I have tried shooting them several times, with mixed results, and when I got my hands on a fisheye lens, I decided that could be the way to go.

Best,

Mary Lou #9044838
