hmm....mebbe it's becos we are so used to seeing people/kids drenched by the water spurts, the people/kids in your shots look very dry leh . why not experiment more by getting more close up shots, freezing the action (esp the water), and getting rid of the distracting background (say by using more shallow DOF)? of your 4 shots, i like the last one best. keep shooting!

The last one is the best among the 4.

The boy's expression is captured very nicely. The colours and contrast could be improved though. A bit more catchlight in his eyes? You used flash?

Too bad the background is rather distracting..

Hi,

Good try there.

Not too sure how the water fountain works in Bugis Junction. However, I'll be glad to share one of my shots. Also a boy playing in a water fountain.

You may click :Spring of Hope to view it. (The 1st pic of the main category)

Hope this helps in improving your shots.

i didn't use flash for fear people may know i am shooting their kids.... i pushed my VR lens to the limit by taking all these pics handheld....
