After a long hiatus, the University of Washington has finally been running Drumheller Fountain daily for the past several weeks. I had been wondering how a long exposure of the backlit water would turn out, if it turned out at all. I must say I am really pleased with this photo.
The original image, shown below, was shot in color. I personally think the high contrast just screams "monochrome" - but a lot of people have been telling me they prefer the color version. So take a look at both versions, and please let me know what you think!

For the monochrome version below, I converted the image using Aperture's monochrome mixer tool. A hint of color was then added with the color monochrome tool.
