Default Fountain in the sun

Went out for a walk in Hyde Park at lunchtime, in bright winter sunshine.
I found this fountain and lined it up directly into the sun. I locked the exposure in the shadow area at the base of the water spout.

I really wanted to try and get the sun actually hidden behind the water, but it was too high in the sky, and I'd have needed my waders. But anyway, I spent a happy half hour just walking around and around the fountain finding different angles to experiment on

If you adjust the Brightness of your pic. it would look much better.
Sorry I took the liberty to do it for you. I only adjusted the Brightness and contrast.
