Could be a night shot in an urban environment. At any rate, it has a mysterious feel to it.

Nice tones, texture and light. The water movement has been well rendered. However, to me the tap itself looks soft - given that the pipe appears to be sat in quite a large hole I wonder if this has moved under the pressure of the water.

Has this been published? It looks very familiar to me. And for what it's worth I like the shot.

Thanks for the comments. I get that "urban feel" comment quite often about this image, even though it was alongside the highway in the middle of a forest. In the actual print the faucet is sharp; I think that the smooth contours make it appear softer than it actually is because of the contrast with the sharper contours of the concrete. Its also a little blown out in this scan.

It has not really been published, although I did use it for an ad in B&W magazine a month or two ago.

I have a question for you guys: Do you think that the white highlight at the lower-left edge of the frame helps to keep that side interesting or does it pull the eye off the image?

I go back and forth with whether I like it or not, but this is the way I usually print it.

I ight be tempted to burn the edge of the step a little as it's so close to the edge of the frame and also the light area to the right side of the tap - sorry faucet - as I feel that draws the eye away and competes a little - just an opinion since it was asked for. I am sure that this makes a superb print!
