SSC Das wesentliche einer Fontäne ist, dass das Wasser nach oben spritzt.
Hier spritzt es waagerecht, für das allgemeinere Thema „Brunnen“ wäre es voll ok.

A fountain (from the Latin "fons" (genitive "fontis"), a source or spring) is a piece of architecture which pours water into a basin or jets it into the air to supply drinking water and/or for a decorative or dramatic effect. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountain

Verstanden, in Englisch ist "Fountain" der Oberbegriff.

In Deutsch ist „Brunnen“ der Oberbegriff.
Die Fontäne eine Bauweise eines „Brunnen“. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brunnen#Brunnen_nach_Bauweise

Wenn ich in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountain Deutsch wähle, bekommen ich: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springbrunnen

Wäre interessant an was der Urheber der Challenge gedacht hat.

This is unfair. When I posted the challenge theme, I also posted an image to go along with it to display what I meant. There could have been no "lost in translation" with my image - it was clear what I meant. Of your six different explanations of what a fountain could mean, how many of the six did you see in the example image I posted?

Entschuldigung!
Das Bild ist vollkommen korrekt! Auch ohne das PiP.
Es ist ein Missverständnis von mir, weil ich die englische Bedeutung von "Fountain" nicht so gut kannte.

that's ok, sometimes very difficult to understand the meaning of ideas in different languages.

I love the backlit waterdrops, bw brings them out very well!

Awesome :o

Wasserpower toll getroffen!

Beautiful !

fontaine ou pas , c 'est une belle photo , bien maîtrisée.

This is a stunning image! And choosing to use such a fast shutter speed really shows the water droplets well!

Great capture of the water, beautifully done

a refreshing capture Wierd

Fantastic perspective, Wierd and most eye- catching!

Ein tolles Motiv im Gegenlicht und in Schwarz-Weiss Optik.
Sehr schöne Bildarbeit, Wierd
