Dipping into the past with this one--over a year ago, when I started my original site, this was one of the first pictures I posted. The boys continue to be fascinated with drinking fountains ("waterfalls" in their lingo); these were at IKEA, soon after the Bloomington, MN, store opened (oh those wonderful meatballs, and the scarily assimilative power of Scandinavian design furniture). [Hide the verbosity]
Not only a wonderful composition, but a great tonal range, and (at least if this is film) a nice medium choice for the topic too. Honestly, I think the image stands on its own without the narrative. It is interesting to get the context of the imagemakers thoughts, but I think it may detract or distract from the strength of the image for me as a viewer.

The framing of the face by water is spectacular.

Great entry for metallic! I love the framing, and I find the child’s reaction amusing. I also enjoyed your amusing commentary.
