RonniLeigh
Wow that is pretty love the treatment!
Margot Kiesskalt
Love the lighting and colours in this shot and the softening of the water produced (presumably) by a longer exposure. Beautiful photo!
Christophe Testi
Thanks for the kind words! That was actually a 13 seconds exposure, straight from the camera.
Lisa G. Putman
Gorgeous capture, Christopher! I love the softness created by the long exposure, and the twinkle lights.

Oh WOW! I know that’s not much of a comment but seriously!
Let me get specific – love the detail and the water effect. The picked out gold seems to be highlighted by the silken water effect.
Magic stuff – makes me want to come right over and check it out for myself.
Marion Cullen
Sensational exposure, with beautiful detail in the fountain, and the bridal veil effect is just superbly done.
