I like the shot but found the frame very distracting.

I'm not sure the black window adds to your composition and it's given a good % of the area. The scene behind looks promising and I'd like to get a closer look at the lumber thing.

Additional comment: It is still the highest rated for this camera type, and I hope to do better in the future. When I looked back at the orriginal, I didn't crop it lower down because at that point you can see the water is a muddy color from the street light that was directly over my head. I ended up shielding the lens from that light with my body to prevent the picture from being washed out. Also further left and right there are street lamps that would have looked tacky.

The fountain was bottom lit by a floodspot that is right in the base of the 'V'. The fountain was tilted over at a harsh angle.

The picture was taken about 2 am and a tripod was used.
I had to take several shots because cars kept driving into the frame.
The fuzzyness is because a stream of water isn't an static object. I did almost no editing other than crop. I didn't do enough rotate.
