There is a surreal quality to this photo's with that statue releasing water without any purpose that I can see.

I really like the first picture. The warm color, the shadows and fountain. Nicely composed and interesting subject. Hope you have time to take more shots like these. Best regards, John

I see you got same gear as I do, the K5 and SIgma 10-20, only you got the stunning view and certainly know how to take advantage if. The composition of especially the first one is spot on. The pier to the left and the spray of water to the right leading into the picture really works nicely. Thanks for sharing // Nick

Love Singapore! Thanks to you guys there are plenty of great shots to remind me of great times there I prefer #1 but could definitely see #2 as a postcard at many on the tourist souvenir shops at Sentosa.

Beautiful shots both but the first one is my favorite. Glad to see more of your landscapes Ken. As much as I love your birds your landscapes can be just as awesome.

That "surreal quality" is not post-processed, it's naturally there when shot with long exposure.

I know, I am experimenting with long exposure's to! I wasn't implying that there was anything fake about the photo. It sure is a popular photo opportunity!
