Barely any idea why...
Lens: 31mm f1.8 Limited Camera: Pentax K-1 Photo Location: London ISO: 100 Shutter Speed: Above 6s Aperture: F14 
Posted By: Peter Nutkins, 10-12-2016, 11:05 PM



Girl with a Dolphin Fountain in front of Tower Bridge and The Shard in the background. Taken from St Katherine's Dock, London.

No, I have no idea why a naked girl would jump off a bridge and hope that a dolphin in a paddling pool was going to save her.

Maybe I just do not appreciate art!

Why, our Dolphins here do that kind of thing all the time... you know the whole catching falling people in the air thing.

Seriously now... a fine capture.

The detail, color, and inclusion of foreground focus is well done.

The long exposure makes for a very nice effect. Well done!

beautiful shot. What was the exposure time? I love the movement in the clouds framing the bridge. Kind of like it's own personal starburst.
