[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Ponte dei Sospiri, the Bridge of Sighs, a beautiful, but very sad place where prisoners-to-be of the Venetian republic
took their last looks at the gorgeous lagune before going to their cells.

I believe, this bridge already became a trademark of Venice.

This is also a street in Venice, i.e. Venezia! Taking a ride in a boat is a piece of daily life there!

Hello Irina. Venice must be a photographer's delight! You captured this scene very nicely, although it's a pity that you didn't have a more interesting sky that day. Yours, Andrew.

What a great city to visit. I cannot imagine how man photos I would take if I ever visit there. A nice scene you have. I may have to move this up my list to visit.

Lovely shot, though it's a shame that the front portion of the photo is so dark. I can't imagine how spectacular this would have been if shot in the early morning. Nice POV, and clarity.

Irina, nice capture. I have always wanted to visit Italy. I like the pictures of Europe because there are so many old structures and there is so much history there. Great note also!

I love the POV here Irina. You lucky girl, enjoy Nice! I'm envious, it's a pretty city.

Hi Irina, I love your view here of Venice, but I keep wanting to see it brighter, as I know it can be. So I've done a workshop for you that has brought out the colours that are already there.
I was there in 1999 And just wish I had my digital camera back then! Such a super place to vist, as ALL of Italy was.

A lovely place to be.... interesting as always. I would have liked to see a bit more light on your photo which would have given us a bit more detail. Nevertheless, this is good. Nice work

Hello Irina,
Nice capture of a daily life scene in Italy. I've been there as well and it brings up memories. We were lucky though as whilst we stayed there the sky was crystal blue which assisted a great deal in photographing that enchanting city.

I like your capture very much and think that Janice enhanced it a great deal by brightening/saturaing it which resulted in much more colour.
Regards,

Shelly:)

Hello Irina.
Lovely photo and great composition.
TFS.
Do you have any more shots of venice?
Best wishes,
Robert

Hi Irina,
I like your view here of Venice, although it's a pity that you didn't have a more interesting sky that day. So I've done a workshop for you that has added sky from other shot.

Well done
Alex
