This is the Vaillancourt Fountain at the Embarcadero. I spent nearly two hours there trying to photograph it in an interesting way, and still left unsatisfied. Luckily, I was able to give it the dark atmosphere that I wanted in post.
Lessons learned: Get a frickin' tripod! Also, get there early. There's a sky scraper not far away, which puts the fountain in shade in the afternoon.

Pretty cool fountain. I like the shot, but I think this would have been better with either a faster or slower shutter speed. Either freeze the motion or get a stronger motion effect, whereas this is somewhere in between.
