Thanks for the comments!
I like it, and it came out exactly as I'd visualized it. I like the sense of asymmetry, of the motion suggested by the lines of tiles going to convergence around a bend to the left. A balanced asymmetry...
The part turning has the six pointed star, the part in your face is a cross with a rose. All kinds of symbols...
I also like how bloody sharp that M85/2 is when stopped down to f/8. Wide open, it has the most delightful smooth, creamy rendering of OOF areas, but stop it down and it becomes a scalpel. Wonderful lens for $60.

That's just about what first crossed my mind, too.
Admittedly I walked right past this, without even spotting it. But if I *had* spotted it, I'd probably have tried for an angle pretty much on the diagonal, to make the slopes symmetric (and, with any luck, to get a little more of the water jets).

I want to like the geometry of the tiles... but since this is a corner shot of
the fountain, I find that the way the tile lines are slanting at the top &
bottom of the frame to be distracting.
