Contrast

Every night the fountains in front of the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, spring to life with color. The hour long show, called the "Dancing Waters" is accompanied by modern orchestral music that coincides perfectly with the movements of the fountains and the changes in the light.
This particular exposure, lasting about 3 seconds, captures the movement of the colored water as the fountains were raising and lowering from the left of the frame to the right. The immense amount of color displayed by the Dancing Waters outshines the dwarfing towers in the background so much that they look as if there are portrayed in black and white - a nifty optical illusion, as they were actually quite colorful themselves.
