[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Going back through some shots I took in Venice in the new year - this one taken in the evening, looking along one of the canals..

I've corrected some of the distortion of the ultra wide 10mm focal length, but if I completely straightened the image it would look 'squeezed'..

EXIF - 28 sec, f14, ISO100 and 10mm.

Hi David,
Wonderful capture of Venice in the "blue hour". the brightness and colours are perfect. The leaning buildings are a bit distractive in my opnion, a perspective crop might improve it, I made a WS to show what I mean. Anyway still a fine attractive view of this beautiful city!

Incredible shot David! I love how you did this! You got a nice star pattern on the lights here, very nice smoothness and sharpness, without noise! Good job! That bridge makes a great lead in line!

hi David

Something different in POV and a night scene of Venice with a color tone that is pleasant to see for this calm still reflection of the canal and the blue hour sky. Good distortion correction for the UWA capture.

Good work.

tfs, bill

Yes, My type of shot.!
Stunning evening light, perfect symetric great composition.
The leaning perspective is not distracting at all.
The 'steetlights' are really sprankling there light over the view.
Colours are much more lovelier than they are in reallity.
Complements, David.
Worth to print it as poster.
Cheers from Jan

Hi David,

Another impressive nocturnal shot, well managed exposure
and interesting POV. The star effect of the lights is beautiful.

Cheers,
Ramon

Hi David,
stunning night view from this incredibly beautiful city; excellent use of the wide angle to deliver a great result where the deep blue sky is so well contrasted by the buildings and the lights reflected on the canal. The crystal clear quality is an extra bonus to make this shot special. Great job indeed.
Regards,

Ele

wow what a golden venice you have here!
amazing!
cheers bro!

The rather hazy mood in this evening scene is great,I like the left top balcony and window,with the lights on,its giving so much mood.
I cliche tourist town,....no way,a city like a sweet dream I call it !
well done mate.

Hi David, Very fine POV looking along the canal with the bridge on the right side. I like the yellow walls during this well timed, Blue Hour image. TFS. Murray.

salve David
again here
sorry but this one is not so good for me
try to explain..hope
venice by night is a classic and always give soult to the photos
there is something distracting here for me
the wide angle here works too much and that detail on the right on the bridge (the elevator for handicaps) is distracting the view of the atmosphere.
this is my opinion

Marco

Venice is beautifull.. your photo too..
good composition..
