Excellent result, especially considering the fact that it is one of your first pictures ever! I like the way you use a shallow DOF to put emphasis on the tap (which was also achieved by you getting up pretty close to it), while you managed to maintain enough detail in the background to show that it is a desert setting. Well done!

Nice! Not to nit pick, but I think this fits under the "surreal" category. If this is how well you can compose images at the start of your photography career, in a few years you will be giving us a tip or two.

Yer way ahead of me, babes. Take that imagination and run with it. You already got the eyes!

Not exactly abstract, but what is? I am so jealous. You've captured quite a statement of our existence. The only tip I can offer is not to walk too far past the fountain (or bubbler as some of you may prefer).

Well I can't thank ya'll enough for the compliments, since you really gave me a big push and made me wanna go further with photography! So thanks again! Now, for Mariusz question "What is it on the top of the stone?", the answer is a tap. That's what cought my eyes and made the picture so sinycal!
