Water, Water, Everywhere, Except In Melbourne
There's an interesting challenge from the New York City blogger Daryle, who has thrown down the gauntlet, inviting us to post photographs of fountains. As it happens, none of Melbourne's water fountains are operational, because of the drought and the severe water restrictions.
However, I took this photograph (above) of a fountain in Montreal two years ago, during a photographic assignment for the Canadian Tourism Commission. The fountain was near my hotel, the Queen Elizabeth, and the shot was taken very early in the morning, before the sun had risen.

But these two photographs (below) were taken in Singapore in mid-December. I was walking down Orchard Road on a hot, humid day when I took these two shots. They were both taken with a 125mm lens, at 1/500th of second, F8 and ISO 200. Which of the two Singapore close-ups do you prefer?
