Backlit by late afternoon sunlight, the Spider Fountain at Waterfront Park glistens like a gossamer web against a Charleston skyline. Seen in the distance is Saint Philip's steeple standing tall above the French Quarter.

    1. I'm trying to think back to when I made this image... I believe it was hand held. Perhaps another option would have been to use a tripod for a longer exposure. Thanks Ron.

  8. great contours and contrasts, fantastic monochrome tonality! the jets of water really stand out and add a strong dynamic element to an otherwise dreamy image ...
