The she wolf with the twins-Romulus & Remus by the same artist.At the feet of the statue a channell(the Tiber) with a boat and obelisk representing Isola Tiberina where the first inhabitants of Rome lived.

What a wonderful fountain. Super image!
what an original idea for a fountain and your capture takes in the beauty
Like a wonderful postcard!!! Stunning capture, Lisa!!!

Beautiful capture...
Very nice image. You composed this very well...
Is that a small version of the aquaduct to the right? There is a lot of symbolism in this. Very nice.
Excellent shot!
Beautiful capture and well done !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Roby ;O)
nice texture to the leaves and the stone rims that hold in the water...you've left it soft enough to fit right in with the water, but allowed enough detail to let it stand out. And it's nice that you allow enough sky to command the upper portion (a diffuse bright light), and also enough of the lower portion to let us feel the fountain come to an end...A collection of greens & browns and solid & liquid textures: a very nice piece of visual music here.
Wonderful capture with just the right lighting...
