Anyway it is a fantastic shot, great composition, lovely colour an awesome capture – & finally a great image that actually sees a few people breaking their RB addiction – well even if it is only momentarily as they nip to the bathroom!!!

Leeo, 9 months ago

Cool capture! : )

berndt2, 9 months ago

First thing? The fully CG water-tentacle in James Cameron’s film “The Abyss” – very cool!

Cathleen Taraw..., 9 months ago

Brilliant – that beats pee and snakes.

billyboy, 9 months ago

I actually thought this was an Australian Ice Snake popping out of a birdbath toilet for a drink… was I right? The long tongue gave it away! Joking aside, this is a beautifully executed shot. Ice Snakes are so rarely seen this time of year!

Cathleen Taraw..., 9 months ago

Yes, I had to look ahrd for this… not even. I was oogling it from afar while the played at the skatebaording park. I could see the water and the possibilities reflections, colour light …hold my bag, I’m going in.

Hagen, 9 months ago

Nice work…

Judith Oppenhe..., 7 months ago

simply beautiful capture, the most mundane object of everyday life turned into captivating art. AND it looks like a striking 3D special effects snake spitting venom. Way cool, but mostly, compelling, captivating art.

Hi, thanks Darren :)

mistertrooth, about 1 month ago

Not sure what the first thing i thought of was – but the lasting impression is that the water spurting out is like a living creature – a water-worm or snake. I love it. This must’ve taken some planning.

Cathleen Taraw..., 20 days ago

Thank you to ‘basinwater’ for buying this for your water company,
cheers!
