The Scene: This wide-angle horizontal photograph captures the historic white cast-iron fountain at Forsyth Park during a dramatic twilight. The fountain stands as a brilliant white centerpiece, its spraying jets illuminated against the darkening park. Above, a turbulent sky is filled with heavy, sweeping clouds caught in a striking transition of deep violet and a single, vibrant orange-magenta glow. Framing the scene are the dark, textured silhouettes of ancient live oaks, while a black wrought-iron fence and a border of yellow pansies create a circular boundary in the foreground.
 
Artistic Note: The strength of this composition lies in its Dramatic Sky and Atmospheric Lighting. The sudden burst of color in the clouds provides a powerful secondary focal point that balances the bright white of the fountain. By utilizing a wide-angle perspective, the photograph captures the relationship between the man-made Victorian structure and the vast, moody atmosphere of the Southern night. The warm glow from the streetlamps on either side creates a balanced frame, while the high-dynamic-range (HDR) processing preserves the fine details of the water spray and the delicate patterns of the ironwork.
