I want to thank Ned for telling me about this place...I went here yesterday after I got back from the Gorge....I think this was my best shot.....would love to go back durning a different time of day to get the fountian blured more!!!
I agree about the sharpness. The water in the fountain doesn't look quite right. I bet you could make some interesting tradeoffs between a global sharpening filter and some local sharpening on certain parts of the flowers, if you wanted to play with this some more.
I do like the way the roses in the background echo the dropletts in the fountain.
The yellow rose in the foreground stands out a bit, just because it's different. I'm not sure if it helps the image or not. (On the one hand, it makes the image less about the fountain, on the other hand it makes the image less about the fountain )
This looks like a cool place to revisit. It seems like there are a lot of cool angles to work here.

Other than the dark background and it seeming a little oversharpened, this is pretty cool.
