Mould Fountain, City Hall Park, Lower Manhattan, New York City
A quick shutter speed allowed me to “freeze” the water in the fountain and capture this young woman mid-stride.
The long shadows of this beautiful fountain caught my eye first, but then I decided to explore the effects of different shutter speeds on the wonderful water features. Once I decided to “freeze” the action, I realized I wanted more in the frame and waited for the “right” someone to come along. Bicyclists, joggers, businessmen all passed by. But it was the patterns of this young woman’s ensemble that led me to press the shutter button.

Thanks, Patti! Pure luck that she turned when she did – don’t you just love when that happens? 🙂

Gorgeous image Stacy and perfect timing to catch her in mid stride 🙂 The title reminds me of the J. Geils Band tune “Freeze Frame”. Great work.

I love both – the black & white gives a timeless feel, while the colour version picks out the woman a bit more – her clothes are great
