Tas-Fountain

This is a fountain at the Port Arthur Penal Settlement in Tasmania. I snapped it as we headed on our way out of the place.
I thought a slight sepia tone combined with selective colouring might work with the tones of the fountain ...

OK, my eyes are refusing to see this right. I keep expecting the water to fall on the path behind it, and can't understand why it falls straight back instead. :confused:

Not sure I see what you are seeing Q1. But then I saw it in real life. This fountain is in a round pond. That's the raised edge of the pond in the foreground. The path is level for a few metres near the fountain before it starts to climb up into the background.

I like the selective colouring. it does have a bit of an optical illusion quality to it.

I agree; suits this image very well

Thanks Bambi and Matt

Yeah, the angle you chose for this one is very interesting. It does have a bit of an optical illusion to it. Nicely done! :clap::clap:

Yup way cool angle here MA - -selective colouring works here for me.

Thanks guys. It was just one of those shots I guess. We were leaving the place and saw it from a distance and grabbed the 400mm and shot from where I was to save time.
