Spurt ... out of the blue

Spurt ... out of the blue by ... Arjun.
Taken during my first shoot after buying the Nikon D70s. Took the camera out of the box and started shooting. Got a lot of amazing pictures. This one is my personal fave.

#1 on Explore!

Published in the March 2006 issue of Beyond Shotz.

Added to 'Cream Of The Crop' as most favorited.

Bugis, Singapore

Very nice shot. Kinda mysterious. In fact, I'm not entirely sure where the water is coming from, but that's okay. Good work.
