Two for the water challenge

Fountain

I wanted to try taking photos of flowing water at different shutter speeds (aha! See what I did there?!). The fast ones came out better - I didn't have a tripod for taking the slow ones, so they all came out blurry.

Swan

Taken a couple of years ago while punting on the Isis in Oxford, which is a lot less elegant than you might think (or maybe that's just me). In a punt, a swan's beak is at eye level, which is very unnerving. Still, I got some nice photos. *g* It really was that green - no Photoshopping afterwards.

The first photo is excellent. I love the contrast between the lightness of the water spout and the dark clouds of the sky.
