Fountain Detail

This is one of the figurines in the fountain at Forsyth Park in Savannah. The fountain itself is modeled after a water feature
in the Place de la Concorde in Paris. Forsyth Park's fountain was installed in 1858. Believe it or not, it was bought through a catalog.

Thanks for viewing! Please feel free to comment and critique. The larger view gives the best feel for the detail. Be sure to check it out if you do comment.

Phil,

The most compelling part of the image for me is the water spray against that barely out of focus street and fence background. I would do a crop that removes all the fountain water up to the man's belly button. Give it a try.
