Water seems to be the favorite for this theme, :)
Mode: Shutter Priority
Shutter Speed: 1/4000 sec (max that could use for my camera Oly E500)
Aperture: F6.3 (camera decided this)
ISO: 400 (needed to push this higher to get a decent exposure at such a high shutter speed)
Location: Swaminarayan temple

Anand,
Good experiment with fastest shutter speed available for the camera.
But if the idea was only to freeze the water, I don't think you need shutter speed as fast as 1/4000. You should be able to freeze the water even with shutter speed around 1/500. That would have allowed lower ISO to avoid the noise completely. Also, the partial temple is the backgroud is distracting. If idea was to shoot the place, I would have included full temple in the background.
Anand,
This is really a nice example shot for the theme.
I am not sure if you had tried a different Point of view, like a lower angle with just water and sky. If in case you wanted to exclude the partial temple as Shailesh mentioned. This is more of a compositional aspect that differs from person to person.

Thanks for your comments guys! The temple was not intentional but this was the only picture I brought back that suited the theme.
Also I just wanted to take this opportunity to use the highest shutter speed that my camera has and another reason behind using this high speed was to get the best possible freeze effect...not sure if I got that though with the fountain being far away..
I guess what all these pictures confirm is that there is no magic figure for a shutter speed to freeze the motion, it is all relative..and depends on the subject, its speed.
So for my fountain picture where the water is flowing at very high speed, I needed to use a relatively high shutter speed. But Raj could get away with using a moderately high shutter speed.
Yes, I agree with you. It is relative to the speed of the moving object.
