    Fountain(night shot)

    I walk by this fountain multiple times daily in route to class. I finally went back late one night in hopes for a good shot. Normally there are lights on that illuminate the water flow as it falls but they've failed to use them lately(go figure). Fiddled around in PP and thought it was a wild touch. CC welcome! forgive me if it too big

    Re: Fountain(night shot)

    Nicely captured image. There are a couple of things that you could clean up in PP.

    In the bottom there seems to be a post jutting into the picture to the right of the fountain base. I would suggest cloning this out to make it a cleaner image.

    Just above the first bowl there seems to be a dark vertical shadow from something and it may be worth loosing this and it bleeds into above the second bowl.

    Adjust the vertical for the fountain as it seems to be leaning to the right.

    The moon is a good inclusion but it would be better shot a few minutes later as then it would give better separation with the tree top.

    There appears to be a thin tree near the right most building which looks like a mark on the film which may be worth dodging a bit to make it stand out less.

    Sorry to be so critical but this is a anice shot and I thinik it is worth working on a bit more to make it outstanding.
