The nice thing for me about Crown Fountain is that tourists with cameras are everywhere so I can photograph total strangers and no one seems to care. It helps me overcome some of my inhibitions about taking pictures that make me feel as if I am up to no good and need to shoot photos on the sly.
If you look at a larger size of this photo what do you see? A curly haired kid in yellow Crocs running in the water. An older woman taking a family photo. A guy talking on his cell phone. A woman wearing a t-shirt that says "Goddess of Victory." What do you think that means? A mom helping her daughter change clothes. An entire little world preserved in a frozen moment of time. What more can you ask of a photograph?

Not much actually, wonderful candid capture.
I like photos/frozen life such as this. They are immortal.
What are they doing?
Why?
Monet said to Manet, "Paintings must have lives", if I recall the quote sort of correctly, meaning that what is in the painting/artwork must engage the viewer not just once, but every day.
One must always find something new, something different, something challenging.
That is the measure of a work of art.
This one qualifies. At least by my standards.
