sure did stop it! i recommend a couple things: get closer to the fountain (zoom or physically). expose a little bit more than your meter wants to to brighten up the water, or use a fillflash, OR shoot it with the sun behind you.
good original shot well captured - could u have taken this at night with flash to one or both sides to make subject more prominent and getting rid of unhelpfull backdrop and unwanted bits like the hose in the pool?
Why does some part os the fountain always end up against a cloudy sky? I think next time I try I'll use one of those indoor ones they have at the big hardware stores, maybe with a curtain behind it...
This is a nice fountain. I can also see the stopped motion here. I'm trying to find something that 'moves' me in this photograph. Technically, there is very little wrong with it. Visually, I'm struggling with it. I can't really offer you any suggestions on how to improve this photo. The surrounding environment may be distracting me from the subject. Maybe I can't see enough detail of the stopped motion. The detail is lost in the distance. Keep up the good efforts!
I really like the color of the water in the pool, if you had been able to get a shot from a higher ground so you could isolate the fountain and the pool (eliminate the building) this would be awesome.
