Water fountains surrounding Columbus Circle.

Posted by Charles (New York, United States) on 27 November 2008 in Cityscape & Urban.

Similar to yesterday's post. After taking yesterday's shot I just looked to the right and came up with this one.

This is a captivating capture! I like your POV here, and the way the water fills up the whole frame.

this is another cool capture, I have actually tried the same shot in the same place and mine was to put it mildly garbage whereas this is awesome
