Misty Morning in Venice :)
I arrived in Venice very early in the morning, not a good time as it was so full of fog all over, perhaps a few meters of visibility. Some of the pics look very dramatic but some are totally white! :(

After hours of walking and island hopping, I got some very cool pics, even from a point & shoot cam. :)

Venice is really a very picturesque city.

Not much time for TL, to post and critique, as much as I want to... I cropped and did a lot of skewing and warping here to place the balcony in the rule of thirds. Also, I made this pic a bit more foggy than usual :)

"...Technique is a matter of individual preferences. It bores me. I am only interested in results. However I do offer a few guiding rules of photography.
1. My essential equipment includes an alarm clock to wake up early and a compass to find where the sun is going to be. I also have a small double pointed quartz crystal which sits in my camera bag with the exposed film and helps to increase sharpness!
2. The best light occurs when I am stuck in the office with the VAT man or have left my camera at home.
3. If I wait for perfect conditions someone will park a truck in the view.
4. The most I have waited in the rain for conditions to improve was five days. The picture wasn't worth waiting for and isn't in this book.
5. Having walked for miles for a good picture I often find the best photo when I return is right next to my car. The only problem beeing that I've parked right in the middle of the view.
6. Nothing is repeatable especially the light.
7. Those pictures which require the most perspiration and imagination to take are always the ones that look the easiest.
8. Don't run out of film."

Hello Fred,
Doors, windows , balconies and red geraniums--you have caught the essence of Venice very well. Great compo and colours. The foggy light adds an element of surprise. Joni

HI Fred
All the elements are well composed even showing the mould on the walls, a very good shot.
Dot

This shot has a lovely misty mood to go nicely with the Venetian fascade. Beautiful colors and architectural features. I would be tempted to clone out the white wire for esthetic reasons, but it does add a touch of current day reality. Venice is one of my favorite cities...and this brought back pleasant memories:) Well done, Freddie!

Hi Venezia offre molti spunti per fotografie bellissime. Bravo hai colto un particolare interessante. Ciao Mari
