Thanks All!
Grant, Tried processing with no sharpening and it is still there.
ISO, I have never had much good luck working with kids.

Guess not much that I can add... Simply outstanding, fantastic mood to the shot, love the duotone, the composition is great and it brings a huge smile to my face. Cheers, Vikas.

Fantastic! The toning adds the finishing touch!! shu

Top five. Probably the winner. If you want someone to actually find fault with it then I'd say its a shame the guy on the right is so close to the edge of frame. If he was just one step backwards it would be a tad better.

I'll bet you $100 that the moiré is from the sharpening.

I love these synchronous movements. Great capture

Lee, can't add much more to what has already been written, except wish I had taken it! Very well-seen and captured. The slight perspective "keystoning" (camera not leveled) is obvious, can be corrected, but doesn't take away from the strength of the image. I, too, like the toning. As for the moire, perhaps it is from the JPG compression? Congrats again on a terrific image. - Paul

This is an impressive shot... the conversion to duotone gives it a surreal feel. What I really like is the repeating form of the two children placed on a diagonal. Really well captured.

Thanks all. It was a hot day and the fountain sure was cooling.

Grant, The moiré is not on the RAW file. Every time I process it, it shows up. Will keep trying.

VERY cool, thefly!! I especially like the cold color cast, the subdued people figures in the background really make this work very well for me. It's like they are all dancing to a great tune while doing the water fountain thing :-) Markjay
