Took this one while in VA Beach for a wedding this spring. Went for a walk behind the inn where we were staying, and stumbled upon this fountain at Regent University. Comments and critiques are greatly appreciated.

Just perfect Jason Love the use of a small aperture for the starburst effect !!!!

Jason,

This is just such a cool looking image I hope you don't mind that I downloaded it and did some Shadow/Highlight adjustment to it.

On BG copy, S/H adjustment as 50/25/030 shadows, nothing for highlights and +15 mid-tones. I then created a mask and painted black over the lights and cloned out a hot-spot on the left next to the street light. The cloning is you prerogative.

I think the S/H adjustment really makes the image bold by providing more details in the shadows.

I like the composition a lot - it is well balanced. Nice work seeing the possibilities here and making such a pleasing image.

Robert, thanks for taking the time to tweak on it and sharing exactly what you did. I adjusted the shadows and highlights a touch when I worked it up, but couldn't quite find a combination thatI liked. The redo you posted was great. Thank y'all again for your input and the kind words.
