Backyard Fountain

This picture was taken of the fountain in my backyard on a sunny Saturday afternoon. It was taken with a fast shutter speed in order to get the detail of the water falling. My favorite part of the photo is the cascading water. In it you can make out the details: the icicle looking droplets as they poor over, and the little splashes as they hit the large pool of water at the bottom and jump back out. I also like the shadow the falling water casts onto the stone of the fountain.
