Hello John
What a vantage point you had. I made the same photo but from a more down to earth angle. I love this one. It is so sharp and bright. The depth of field is perfect and the scene deserves to be published in a tourist brochure.
Bravo

Hello John,
Looks spectacular and nice job from the deck of a ship I might add.
We're supposed to cruise next Spring and I think Venice is one of the ports-of-call, that will be great.
Nice capture here, enjoy the trip.

John,
This is an amazing picture with such clarity and detail. The color and composition are very good. The P.O.V. is excellent. I've never been to Venice but I'm looking forward to going someday. If it looks like this picture I'm sure I will enjoy Venice very much.

OK, let's speak italian, as Charles V stated...! :)

No words about Venezia... I only try to imagine the mood, slowly shipping having this sight to view at, and listening to Puccini...
You're a lucky man!
Ciao, and TFS

Hoi John,
Zoals we van je gewend zijn: een prachtplaat! Heerlijke frisse kleuren en een prima compo en frame.
Dit moet indrukwekkend mooi zijn om dat met eigen ogen te aanschouwen. Eigenlijk ken ik van Europa veel te weinig; Italië staat nog op mijn verlanglijstje.....
Groet uit Schouwen,
Adri

Well John, this "aerial" PoV sure offers a nice and original view on the world's most famous town. Apart from the slight cw tilt of the horizon I really like it. The sea in the back clearly shows the town is an island, and almost all famous buildings are quite clearly visible. Light and contrast controlled perfectly. My compliments!

Prachtige foto met al die piepkleine mensjes op het San Marco Plein!
