There's something of ancient mystery about this fountain.

This image is awesome. I like how slow shutter speed has blurred water

Oh my, this is a very beautiful fountain Brian. Perhaps this could be considered one of the seven wonders of the NEW world - it definitely has a Middle-Eastern look and feel. The colors are fabulous.

Persian King and Janice--I wish the image could convey the sound of this fountain. It fills the whole area with a rich, liquid, splashing. It's truly a lovely thing!

It's really nice; the blurred curtain of falling water adds something. Too bad we're not wired for sound.

I just love this photo!! The fountain is simply beauitful and calming. I like the fact that you captured the water and the gentleness of the tiered water cascading over the deep rich tile work.

The lighting at the top of the fountain was perfectly captured as well, and gave it a sense of awesome power.

The silvery waterfall seems as if it was playing some music. Very nice effects on it.
