Photographer's Note
The Carlos V Fountain, which dates back to the 16th century and is also known as the Genovese Fountain, is a gracious example of Italian Renaissance architecture. This marble fountain has been traditionally considered of Genovese origin, and although how it arrived in Malaga is not very clear, there is documental proof that the Town Hall paid 1,000 Ducats for it. It is decorated with aquatic motifs, nymphs and children with dolphins, etc. It has a huge twelve-sided bowl, decorated with grooves and the column that rises from the centre is divided into several sections. At the bottom there are three mermaid figures with their tails linked together holding crowns and flowers; above these there are another three half-naked female figures, possibly nymphs, with dolphins, whilst around the upper part there is another bowl edged with figureheads spouting water from their mouths. The final part, a pedestal that rises up from this last bowl, has another three figures, also intertwined, which seem to represent Neptune and a small bowl, very much worn away, in which the remains of the heads of cherubs can be seen, as well as a final column decorated with the figures of children with dolphins on their shoulders. An eagle tops the whole ensemble.

Hello Malgorzata,
A fine composition of this beautiful fountain that looks superb against the palms and that lovely blue sky. The detail is very well rendered with excellent colours and sharpness.

Lovely light and lovely colours. This old fountain is a nice photographic subject offering interesting figures and textures. I like the strong contrast with the deep blue sky and also the palm trees which frame it. Quite simple but good and pleasant composition.
Have a nice Sunday,
Donato

Hello Malgorzata,
The very enlightened and contrasted fountain seems to want to go out of the photo. The quality, the neatness of which, is exceptional. It is a well composed, spectacular and interesting photo. Bravo.

Hello Malgorzata.
A stunning close-up of the top of the source, showing us in great detail these cherubs on the column surmounted by the eagle, the bottom of the palm trees silhouetted against the clear blue sky completed a very beautiful composition.
Good handling of brightness and color. Well done.
Have a good week.
Best regards.

Hi Malgorzata,
Very nice capture of this fountain with cupidons. The leafs of the palmtree at the back creates a perfect background. Deep blue sky increases the 3 D effect of the capture.
TFS and best regards
