That whale looks a little lostThats a great fountain though
I just hate when whales get in the kiddie pool
What a strange place to put a park -- in the middle of the ocean.
Seriously, it's a nice composition but a smaller depth of field would have increased attention to the subject by bluring the distracting cars and buildings in the distance.

I agree.
Hi Colin,
Shooting with a longer focal length (than 28mm) and necessarily, from further away, would have given less DoF - but also likely critically damaged the perspective - perhaps a faster 28mm is called for
The EXIF says f/4.2 was possible (at that focal length), although I agree that shooting wide open is rarely a good idea.
The EXIF doesn't show the focus distance, so I can't postulate whether 'biassing' focus in favour of nearer might have helped blur the background (hyper focal distance was 5.28m according to EXIF).
Clever fountain design, but it probably only works when approached, or photographed, from where you were.
Cheers,
Thank's people for your helpful and in some instances very humorous replies.
Cheers Colin.
